London’s Royal Festival Hall Announces Fall Concert Season Featuring Nonwhite Composers (But No Audiences)

“Classical music has long been criticised for being overwhelmingly white, but the Southbank Centre said its first post-lockdown season in the Royal Festival Hall would feature works by 16 composers of colour. … Musicians will be returning for the three-month series of concerts at the centre, but audiences will not. Instead the events will be streamed online and 10 of the concerts will be broadcast on [BBC] Radio 3.” – The Guardian
