Buy a half-day pass to the ‘Classically Black’ symposium day, which aims to stimulate the mind and engage the musical senses. This event is designed to encourage discussions, celebrate the contributions of black classical musicians, provide a sneak peek at newly commissioned works by celebrated Black British composers, and introduce you to the emerging stars of the future.

Black Lives in Music (BLiM), the organisation set up to address racial inequality in the music industry and create opportunities for Black, Asian and ethnically diverse musicians and professionals, presents Classically Black, a day of events exploring the cutting-edge classical music.

Produced by BLiM and sponsored by ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) and Warner Classics, this ground-breaking event will explore the experience of being a minority in classical music and champion the works of Black classical musicians past and present.
