The sister ensemble to the Chineke! Orchestra, the Chineke! Junior Orchestra, is made up of majority Black and ethnically diverse musicians aged 11 – 22. Both ensembles were founded in 2015 with the aim of creating opportunities for emerging and established musicians of Black and ethnically diverse heritage.

The concert opens with a blast of energy: Dukas’ Fanfare from La Péri, which was written after the composer had completed the 1912 ballet in one act, based on a Persian folk story.
