Performance NotesExperience the electric atmosphere of a Chineke! Prom first-hand, as Europe’s first majority Black and ethnically diverse orchestra returns to the Royal Albert Hall 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.

The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and BBC television.
