BBC Radio 3 is presenting a pan-industry conference to encourage greater inclusion from the UK’s black, Asian and minority ethnic communities in classical music.
The one-day event will take place on 19 October at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.
It will discuss how to boost opportunities for the next generation of composers, giving special focus on how the industry can work better together to ensure inclusion and diversity of talent.
It’s hosted in partnership with BASCA, the BBC Philharmonic and the Royal Northern College of Music, and in association with the BBC Black and Asian Forum.
Guest speakers include composers Daniel Kidane, Jeffrey Mumford, Priti Paintal, Shirley J. Thompson, Errolyn Wallen and Raymond Yiu.
BBC Radio 3 controller, Alan Davey, will also attend, alongside the BBC’s head of diversity, inclusion and succession, Tunde Ogungbesan and Vick Bain, chief executive of BASCA.
Organisers are inviting applications to attend from the classical community, including composers, publishers, festival directors, educators, venue managers, funders, commissioners and industry bodies.
Music students and young people with an interest in composition are also encouraged to apply to attend to help reshape the future of the UK’s classical music landscape.
