The Cultural Pulse of King’s Cross
Classically Black
Now in its second year, Classically Black is more than a festival—it’s a growing cultural movement redefining what classical music looks and sounds like today. Curated by Black Lives in Music, this is classical music reimagined.
Eliza Carthy, Martin Simpson, Chris Wood, Miranda Rutter & Rob Harbron and The Wilderness Yet celebrate and shine a spotlight on all things avian: from new songwriting to musical dialogues with birds.
