Black, White and Beethoven

Britain's music scene today is a multicultural feast that draws on talent from all corners of society.

Unless, that is, your passion is for classical music...?

In Britain, and across Europe, performers, composers, teachers and institutions remain resolutely, predominantly white.

Joseph Harker sets out to discover why should this be, and is it a concern?

Chi-chi Nwanoku and members of her Chineke! Orchestra, Europe's first professional Black and Minority Ethnic orchestra, talk about their lives in classical music: we also hear from other Black classical musicians about their work.

Producer: Lyndon Jones

A BBC Wales production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in March 2016.
