Our long term goals:
- To contribute to the evolving narrative of change in the UK's opera and classical music sectors, driven by Black, Asian, and ethnically diverse leaderships.
- To create formidable work in mainstream repertoire and cutting edge commissions showcasing the talent of under-represented artists in contemporary England.
- To inspire the diverse communities of the West Midlands and beyond.
- To develop, educate and train artists and creatives in a breadth of repertoire towards a sustainable career, especially those from under-represented communities.
