NEW YORK, March 27 — After more than three decades in the classical music industry, British double bassist Chi-chi Nwanoku began grappling with the question that had troubled her for years: Why was she consistently the only Black musician onstage?
She founded Chineke!, Europe’s first majority Black and ethnically diverse professional orchestra, which last week played at the prestigious New York Philharmonic’s David Geffen Hall in Manhattan’s Lincoln Centre. Yet the League of American Orchestras, which represents professional and amateur symphonies across the United States, found in a 2014 study on diversity that just 1.4 percent of orchestra musicians were Black — and there’s little reason to believe much has changed.
