Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves
Spotlight Classical, in discussion
Black Lives in Music Classically Black series
A powerful panel discussion exploring the lived experiences of Black and global majority women working within the classical music industry today. A part of Classically Black 2025.
Now in its second year, Classically Black is more than a festival—it’s part of a wider cultural movement, amplifying underrepresented voices and reshaping classical music across the UK.
Moderated by Paulette Bayley (Sub Principal Second Violinist, The Hallé), the conversation brings together a compelling panel of performers and creatives, including Amina Hussain (flute and Resident Music Therapist, Manchester Camerata), Amanda Baldwin (mezzo soprano, Royal Ballet and Opera chorister), and Rianna Henriques (wind instrumentalist).
Together, they will reflect on their journeys, share the challenges they’ve faced, and spotlight the resilience and brilliance that drives their work. To close, the audience is invited to join the conversation and share thoughts or questions.
Join us for an open and inspiring discussion that centres the voices shaping a more inclusive future for classical music.
Now in its 5th year, Black Lives in Music continues to champion equity and representation in the industry. This performance marks not only a platform for talent, but also a celebration of a milestone moment in advocacy, creativity, and cultural transformation.
Join us for our 5th anniversary celebrations with DJ Spoony & Friends — part of the multi-buy offer and the perfect way to end the day.
This event will last approximately 75 minutes.
