Chineke! Junior Orchestra Summer Concert
Join the Chineke! Junior Orchestra for a matinee concert showcasing the inspiring results of their week-long residential rehearsal and performance course.
The Chineke! Junior Orchestra is the sister ensemble to the Chineke! Orchestra, and is made up of majority Black and ethnically diverse musicians aged 11 – 22.
Both ensembles were founded simultaneously in 2015 with the aim of creating opportunities for emerging and established musicians of Black and ethnically diverse heritage.
This concert comes at the end of an intensive musical week spent together rehearsing and exploring the music to be performed, as well as receiving individual tuition from members of the senior orchestra, who act as mentors, teachers and role models.
