Chineke! Orchestra with Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Jeanine De Bique

ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Proms 2017

Europe's first majority BME orchestra perform music by American composer George Walker and a world premiere by Hannah Kendall, plus works by Dvorak, Handel and Rimsky-Korsakov.

Katie Derham introduces another unforgettable Prom from the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ archive. This week she is joined by one of the brightest young stars of classical music, cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason. They look back on a Prom that made history in 2017 when Chineke! became the first British majority BME symphony orchestra ever to take to the Proms stage. Including music by Dvorak, Handel and Rimsky-Korsakov, and featuring Sheku himself, soprano Jeanine De Bique and conductor Kevin John Edusei, it was a night that broke new boundaries for all involved.
