About This Event

Europe’s first majority Black and ethnically diverse orchestra returns to the Proms with Beethoven’s joyful Fourth Symphony and Haydn’s exuberant Trumpet Concerto. On a mission to champion change and celebrate diversity in classical music, Chineke! also showcases music by pioneering Black British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and his American namesake, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson. Plus there’s an opportunity to hear Valerie Coleman’s pandemic anthem, Seven O’Clock Shout.
