Chineke! Orchestra & Voices Conducted By Kevin John Edusei Perform Walker And Beethoven

Kevin John Edusei conducts George Walker’s heartfelt song cycle Lilacs and Beethoven’s joyous Ninth Symphony, performed by Chineke! – Europe’s first Black and ethnically diverse orchestra, along with Chineke! Voices. Soprano Nicole Cabell leads a world-class team of soloists, and opens the concert with Lilacs with which George Walker became the first African American composer to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music. “A high-voltage performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 that took off from the start and did not hit the tarmac again until the last bars […] Beethoven’s Ninth should always be as exhilarating as this” (Financial Times).
