Dear Friends and Music Lovers,
Ever wanted to sing with a large symphonic chorus?
I’m excited to invite you to consider joining a unique and enriching experience with the Chineke! Orchestra. After celebrating our 8th anniversary, we’re proud to announce the formation of the Chineke! Amateur Symphonic Chorus, which will launch with a performance with the Chineke! Orchestra at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre on 3 May 2024. We are at virtual capacity with female voices, but are extremely low on male voices.
Inclusivity at Our Core:
Chineke!'s spirit is rooted in diversity and inclusion. While our performers are predominantly Black and ethnically diverse, we extend a warm welcome to individuals of all ethnicities, colours, and nationalities. Our mission goes beyond showcasing diversity; we demonstrate how inclusion enhances the beauty and quality of music.
Vocal Ability:
Your ability to sing in tune is essential. Reading music is not a prerequisite, because we will provide tools to help you learn the pieces and aid in this process. More importantly, we value your commitment to independently learn your part, which is crucial for the collective success of our chorus.
The Joy of Teamwork:
Being part of the Chineke! Amateur Symphonic Chorus is also not just about singing; it's about the synergy of working together. You'll be expected to follow a conductor and collaborate harmoniously with fellow choir members. Teamwork is the heartbeat of our ensemble, and shared journey of experiences.
We invite enthusiastic singers from African and Afro-Caribbean communities, and beyond, to join us in this pioneering project. This is more than a performance; it's an opportunity to be part of a movement that’s reshaping the classical music landscape.
For more information and to express your interest, please visit our website and feel free to reach out to me personally at chichi@chineke.org. We appreciate prompt responses to facilitate the preparation for this exciting venture.
Thank you for considering this invitation. Together, let's create a chorus that not only looks like the world in its diversity but sounds like the harmony we all strive for in music and life.
With warm regards,
Chi-chi Nwanoku CBE, (Hon) Mus.D. Cantab and Honorary Bencher Middle Temple

THRICE TO ROME
Tuesday 5th March 18:30–20:00
The Temple Church, London EC4Y 7BB
Dramatised reading of a play written by Professor Norman Doe about Gerald of Wales in Rome before the court of Pope Innocent III in 1200-03.
This is a tale of canonical intrigue, Church and State in conflict and an epic clash between the church in Wales and England.
Set in the Temple Church, which was consecrated in 1185 and where negotiations which led to the sealing of Magna Carta in 1215 took place during Gerald of Wales’ lifetime, the play raises issues of contemporary relevance about nationhood, justice and law.
The cast of Thrice to Rome includes a former Lord Chancellor and a Lord Chief Justice of England & Wales as well as a group of current canon lawyers, joined by staff of the Temple Church.
