researching the work of historical Black classical musicians in the UK
My name is Uchenna Ngwe and I'm the creator of plainsightSOUND - a research project dedicated to exploring and promoting the work of historical Black classical musicians in Britain.
plainsightSOUND emerged from research undertaken as part of a PhD at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, and since then has taken on a life of its own!
As a self-funded PhD student - and freelance musician - I have no financial support or sponsorship for this research and have had to fund it entirely through other income. If you think this is work is as valuable as I do, and you're passionate about keeping these stories alive, please consider supporting future work by donating the price of a (fancy) coffee!
