Black British Classical Foundation
Creating space for talent to thrive, stories to be heard, and futures to be imagined.
About Us
The Black British Classical Foundation addresses the situation where ethnic minorities are underrepresented in the field of opera and the Classical arts in general. Across society, powerful role models can inspire future generations, whether it is in sport, science, or the arts. By fulfilling this need we hope to encourage minority audiences to see possibilities for themselves, to say, “Yes, I too can do that!”
Help us keep the music going
When you support the Black British Classical Foundation, you’re helping voices be heard — on stage, in classrooms, and in communities. Your generosity helps break down barriers and build a more inclusive future in the classical arts.
