Europe’s first designated minorities orchestra?
mainThe London bass player Chi-chi Nwanoku has launched the Chineke! Foundation, with an orchestra ‘designed specifically for people of colour and led by one of our own’.
Her declared aim is ‘to create a space where black musicians can walk on to the stage and know that they belong, in every sense of the word’. Chi-chi has won support from various UK public bodies and plans an inaugural concert on September 13.
It looks like the first of its kind. Is it?
