Als Chi-chi Nwanoku, Kontrabassistin mit nigerianischen Wurzeln, 2014 anlässlich einer Studie des britischen Kulturministeriums gefragt wurde, warum es kaum schwarze Musiker:innen in Orchestern gebe, wurde die Künstlerin mit einem Zustand konfrontiert, den sie bis dato als gegeben hingenommen hatte. Nur wenige Tage später war die Idee zu einer Stiftung für ein ethnisch vielfältiges Orchester geboren: Chineke!. Dieser in vielerlei Weise besondere und herausragende Klangkörper, dessen Name in der nigerianischen Igbo-Sprache für »Gott, der Schöpfer der Welt und des Guten« steht, sorgte bereits bei seinem Debüt 2015 im Southbank Centre in London für Furore. Zwei Jahre später folgte die Einladung zu den legendären BBC Proms in die Royal Albert Hall. Mittlerweile ist das Ensemble mit großem Erfolg auf den internationalen Bühnen unterwegs und macht nun endlich auch bei den Dresdner Musikfestspielen Station, unterstützt von der US-amerikanischen Geigerin Elena Urioste als Solistin von Max Richters in ein modernes Gewand gekleideter Version von Vivaldis »Vier Jahreszeiten«.

Deutsch

When Chi-chi Nwanoku, a double bass player with Nigerian roots, was asked by a 2014 inquiry of the British Ministry of Culture why there were hardly any Black musicians in orchestras, the artist was confronted with a state of affairs she had accepted as a given up to that point. Only a few days later, the idea for a foundation to support an ethnically diverse orchestra was born: Chineke!. This orchestra, which is special and outstanding in many ways and whose name stands for »God, creator of the world and goodness« in the Nigerian Igbo language, caused a stir when it made its debut at London’s Southbank Centre in 2015. Two years later, it was invited to the legendary BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. Today, the ensemble tours international stages with great success and finally comes to the Dresdner Musikfestspiele, accompanied by the American violinist Elena Urioste as the soloist in Max Richter’s modern version of Vivaldi’s »Four Seasons«.
