Double bassist and founder of Chineke! Orchestra, Chi-chi Nwanoku CBE returns to Classic FM to present a third series of Chi-chi’s Classical Champions. Over a six-week series beginning 31 July, Chi-chi shines the spotlight on Black & ethnically diverse composers and performers, exploring music that has not had the attention it deserves.
Chi-chi champions brilliant music; tells the stories behind the works and performances, and plays a varied range of recordings – all personally chosen by her – by artists from diverse backgrounds from the 16th century up to the present day.
