We are proud to announce the appointment of seven new Trustees to our Board. This impressive cohort of leaders brings a wealth of experience from a broad range of sectors, furthering our mission to nurture talent and create opportunities for emerging and established classical musicians. These appointments are a significant step in supporting the Foundation's growth as we build toward our 10th Anniversary in 2025. Chair of Trustees Dr. Frank Douglas, who has a distinguished background in business, expressed his enthusiasm for the appointments, stating: "I am thrilled to welcome such an extraordinary group of new Trustees to the Chineke! Foundation. Following an extensive search led by recruitment industry leaders Saxton Bampfylde, this diverse group reflects our commitment to excellence and representation. These appointments prove that the narrative that Black or ethnic minority board members are difficult to find is simply untrue. Our new Trustees are extremely successful in their respective fields, and their wealth of experience will be invaluable as we continue developing our vision of better representation in the orchestral world and propel Chineke! to the next level."
