A performance by Chineke! Orchestra at the 2023 Proms, conducted by Anthony Parnther.
A treat for the senses as Chineke! Orchestra perform at the 2023 Proms, conducted by Anthony Parnther. Europe’s first majority black and ethnically diverse orchestra presents a concert of music from across four centuries and two continents, culminating in Beethoven’s sunny and genial Fourth Symphony.
Before the Beethoven, novelty is the uniting factor, with four pieces enjoying their Proms debuts, including the lyrical Four Noveletten by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor. Trumpeter-on-the-rise Aaron Azunda Akugbo takes centre stage to perform Haydn’s joyful Trumpet Concerto, with its famous third movement.
Clara Amfo presents with special guests Hannah French and Ayanna Witter-Johnson.
