Person Open DS/UK/22042 Henriques; Rianna (2001-); British-Black Caribbean flutist, saxophonist Henriques Rianna 2001- British-Black Caribbean flutist, saxophonist Female (cisgender)

Musician; Flute / Saxophone Rianna studies flute and alto saxophone, as a joint first-study at the Royal College of Music Junior Department. She also attends Alleyn’s School, in Dulwich, where she is a music scholar and participates in a gospel choir and a saxophone ensemble, as well as the school Chamber Choir and Symphony Orchestra, where she is the principal flautist. Rianna has performed with the National Childrens’ Orchestras of Great Britain, the South London Youth Orchestra, the Symphony Orchestra of the Royal College of Music and both, the Chineke! Orchestra and the Kuumba Youth Orchestra, aiming to increase the musical skills of instrumentalists of an ethnic minority. Rianna’s goal musically is to become a professional performer, either as a jazz saxophonist, playing her own arrangements, or as an orchestral flautist. Starting music at a very tender age, Rianna had always wondered why she was not accompanied with a similar background and as a British-Black Caribbean individual, with parents of Jamaican descent, she feels that it is necessary for everyone to be able to express themselves musically. She believes that having herself, and others like herself, with a love of music on the programme, is a fantastic idea. https://www.lpo.org.uk/education/meet-the-junior-artists-2017.html (September 2018) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHAKirkbride 9/11/2018 RAHAKirkbride 11/3/2022 206f8724-c5d0-42fd-8eab-178f97bf7761
