Be part of our future by becoming a Chineke! Friend
By creating world-class opportunities for Black and ethnically diverse classical musicians, Chineke! is transforming perceptions of who belongs in classical music. Praised for its “sheer joyousness” (Daily Telegrahph, 2023) and “meticuolous clarity” (The Guardian, 2022), the orchestra inspires tens of thousands of audience members every year, as well as millions more through broadcasting and streaming.
It’s thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters that this work can happen. From rehearsals and engagement programmes to touring and commissioning, every contribution unlocks new potential for building a more inclusive sector.
