More and more people are using their voice to demand action on climate change. Chineke! will use music.

In collaboration with the charity Christian Aid and St Paul’s Institute we are commissioning composers and musicians from across the globe to create a 12-minute piece that highlights the impact of climate change on the world's poorest communities. Read the full press release here.

Chi-chi Nwanoku OBE, founder of Chineke!, said:

“We’re thrilled to be working with Christian Aid on this project. Their vision of dignity, equality and justice for all living in extreme poverty around the world – no matter their faith – is an inspiring one. As someone of Nigerian and Irish descent, I recognise the stark inequalities that exist between the richest and poorest globally and want to do my bit to help. We are excited by Christian Aid’s creativity and vision to rally people together to stop the climate crisis.”

Join Chineke! Orchestra for a free public concert at St Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday 20th May, 7pm for the premiere of Song of the Prophets: A Requiem for the Climate.
