  • Chineke! - which means 'the spirit of creation' in Igbo - is the UK's first professional classical orchestra made up entirely of BME musicians. The orchestra is the brainchild of leading double bassist Chi-chi Nwanoku, who aims to both celebrate the creative energy of musicians of colour and inspire new generations of instrumentalists.
    The concert is conducted by Wayne Marshall and includes Elegy: In Memoriam - Stephen Lawrence by black British composer Philip Herbert, as well as Beethoven's dramatic Symphony No.7.
    Recorded in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre. Sunday 13 September 2015. Part of Southbank Centre’s Africa Utopia festival.
    Repertoire:
    Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: Ballade for orchestra, Op.33
    Philip Herbert: Elegy: In memoriam - Stephen Lawrence
    Johannes Brahms: Variations on a theme by Haydn (St. Anthony)
    Interval
    Ludwig Van Beethoven: Symphony No.7

    Second movement is hands down one of the most gorgeous melodies I've ever heard! Beethoven was the ultimate tormented genius.

    Great job, guys! Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to this performance, especially in light of the inclusion of some of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's fabulous work! Keep up the excellent work. Let's hope we can all get through #lockdown and back to some sense of normalcy for the entertainment industry soon. _/\_

    The performance was great, absolutely incredible. I enjoyed every moment of it. One thing did catch my eye and I can actually see some of the audience looking her way as well. The woman to the right of the director playing the violin, eyes popped out of her head and sat on her face cheeks, "literally".

    In isolation 6 weeks just found this old video.
    So many able musicians particularly those of African descent for whatever reason, there are many, did not go onto fulfil their potential. However, with orchestras like Chineke, which I had the pleasure of seeing live at Basingstoke Anvil, the future looks very bright. I got back into classical when I heard Wynton Marsalis recording of the Hayden and Hummel then years later for the first time I listened to the BBC Proms in its entirety Wayne Marshall was host. It is said, that music is a universal language, hopefully through music the world will become blind to the colour of peoples skin.

    • @984francis
      @984francis 3 года назад

      Yes with Braimah as the soloist. As the Elgar (cello obviously) inspired Sheku, so the Beethoven Violin Concerto inspired Braimah.

  • @flamani54
    @flamani54 5 лет назад +1

    Great orchestra! But I thought it would help if the musicians fine tune up their instruments before coming on stage TOGETHER with the conductor. Thus, the audience will not be let waiting.

    • @obbzerver
      @obbzerver 5 лет назад +1

      Common practice for orchestras - however it would help if their intonation during the performance was tighter.

      Having been in the orchestra for this performance I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth. It is simply how we were microphoned for the video. Paul is one of the finest and most sensitive musicians I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

    • @laurelindon
      @laurelindon 3 года назад +2

      @@HornPlayer02 Probably... I'm definitely not blaming the musician, he's awesome. But there must be some problem with the audio rec then. Everything sounds deep, hazy and muffled, like hearing it from inside a barrel. Meanwhile, the timpani breaks windows... :D

    Outstanding performance. It's a shame that Woke Culture has now deemed classical music a symbol of "stuffy elitist classical culture that bolsters the rule of white males and suppresses the voices of women, blacks and the LGBTQ community" (see link to article). Apparently, their insanity knows no bounds.
    Classical music is for everyone. It pierces our minds and bodies, and awakens and enhances our innermost senses and selves. There is no sense of division in Beethoven's works. There's is only peace, love, joy, harmony, and sometimes even sadness. If one assumes something is racist, or sexist, or any other ist or ism, they will always find a twisted way to make their argument seem valid to others.
    Why must people ruin everything that is good and pure in this world?
