SUMMARY:Scrap It\, Revamp It: 100 Years of Black History Commemorations (1926 - 2026)
DESCRIPTION:In the early twentieth century\, Black communities in America had begun marking the February birthdays of social reformer and civil rights activist\, Frederick Douglass and US president Abraham Lincoln as opportunities to celebrate emancipation and self-determination.  In 1926\, Carter G Woodson established Negro History Week\, fuelled by what he saw as an urgent need to recognise African-American history\, in its own right.  In doing so\, Woodson became the “father of Black history” and cemented a footprint for Black History Month\, which was formerly recognised in the US in 1976 and the UK in October 1987. \nNow recognised around the world\, Black History Month may take place at different times of the year\, explore different themes and embrace different legacies\, but its fundamental principles remain the same; that Black history needs a place within cultural calendars and institutional structures are needed to make this possible.  To recognise these significant anniversaries\, this exhibition will explore a pocket history of Black History Month\, its international legacy and its future within arts\, academia and the media. \nThe exhibition is free to visit February – December 2026 during the opening hours of Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage. \n

SUMMARY:Black Classics Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Classical music is a timeless and universal art form\, transcending geographic and cultural boundaries. Although traditionally associated with the western canon\, the richness of classical music is indebted to the diverse influences and contributions from the African and African Caribbean Diaspora. \nThis symposium brings together leading artistic directors\, composers and musicians for a discussion exploring the landscape of Black-led classical music and opera.  The programme will reflect on the work of historic pioneers such as Florence Price\, the first Black American woman to have her symphony performed by a major orchestra\, Chevalier de Saint-Georges\, a trailblazing French composer and virtuoso violinist and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor\, a pioneering Black British composer.  But the conference will also give precedence to contemporary trailblazers who have now taken classical music and opera into new realms\, ensuring that the genre is not just a relic of the past\, but a living\, evolving tradition that thrives on the diverse voices and experiences of its contributors. \nThe line up of confirmed contributors includes: \nantonio cuyler\, Professor of Music at the University of Michigan in Entrepreneurship and Leadership\, his work spans entrepreneurship\, leadership\, and cultural policy. He authored pivotal texts\, he authored Access\, Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion in Cultural Organisations: Insights from the Careers of Executive Opera Managers of Colour in the US and has worked with a variety of cultural organisations to actualise creative justice\, including serving as Lyric Opera of Chicago’s inaugural Scholar-in-Residence with Lyric Unlimited during the 2024-25 season.  He also serves on the boards of the American Composers’ Forum\, Black Opera Database\, I/O\, and OPERA America. \nAlison Buchanan\, Artistic Director of Pegasus Opera Company and international soprano.  She has performed extensively around the world collaborating with Andre Previn\, Dame Joan Sutherland\, Placido Domingo\, Franco Zeffirelli\, Luciano Pavarotti\, Sir Willard White and many others.  She is the only Black female director of a European opera company and was featured on Queen Charlotte\, A Bridgerton Story.\n \nPhilip Herbert\, award-winning composer\, arranger and orchestrator. His compositions include ‘Elegy’\, ‘Ballare: To Dance’ and ‘Silent Aria’ and his work has been performed by and for the Philharmonia\, Sinfonia Viva\, London Mozart Players\, London Symphony Orchestra\, Chineke! Orchestra\, BBC\, Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage and many others. \nThe ticket covers a place at the Black Classics Symposium at Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage\, 2.00pm – 4.30pm and the Black History Month Launch: Black Classics Concert at Leicester Cathedral\, 7.30pm. \nFor more information about Black Classics in Concert: CLICK HERE. \nImage credit: Samuel Coldridge-Taylor

SUMMARY:Black History Month Launch: Black Classics in Concert
DESCRIPTION:To launch Black History Month 2026\, Black Classics in Concert is more than a mere showcase of musical excellence; it is a profound tribute to the cultural legacies and transformative contributions of the African and African Caribbean Diaspora.

Alison Buchanan has gathered an impressive lineup of singers to regale you with opera\, song and spirituals. \nThese performances serve as vibrant reminders of the rich tapestry of musical heritage that has been woven by Black composers and musicians throughout history\, both from the classical genre but also music from across the board that can be defined as “classics” in their own right. \n  \nAlison Buchanan and Guests \nFeaturing compositions by: \nAkin Euba\nJacqueline Hairston\nWilliam Grant Still\nScott Joplin\nDominque Le Gendre\nChevalier de St George\nFlorence Price
