Why is our classical music scene so resolutely white?

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

Britain's music scene today is a rich, multi-cultural feast that draws on talent from all corners of society. Unless, that is, your passion is classical music. In Britain, and across Europe, performers, composers, teachers and institutions remain resolutely, predominantly white. Joseph Harker explores why. First broadcast on Black, White and Beethoven, 2 March 2016.
