Programme

Overview

Flip the script on classical music history with Down with the Patribachy, the finale of Classically Black that blends humour, expert debate and live performance to spotlight underrepresented composers. Hosted by Ellie Ajao with panelists Joe McHardy and Emma Arthur, and featuring the Omnium Ensemble, this fast-paced event challenges the canon and celebrates voices too often overlooked.As the day’s finale, Down with the Patribachy redefines what a live podcast can be, inviting audiences into a dynamic fusion of debate, storytelling and music. Under the skilful stewardship of host Ellie Ajao, musicologist Joe McHardy and critic Emma Arthur ignite a spirited dialogue that peels back the layers of Western classical tradition, unearthing the overlooked masterpieces of underrepresented composers. Between their incisive insights and witty exchanges, the Omnium Ensemble breathes life into hidden musical legacies, performing works that challenge the familiar canon and resonate with fresh emotional depth. From the first clever quip to the final lingering chord, this fast-paced journey pulses with curiosity, challenge and discovery, creating an atmosphere that is at once thought-provoking, entertaining and profoundly inclusive. Down with the Patribachy doesn’t just spotlight missing voices—it celebrates their power to reshape our understanding of classical music, continuing the vital Classically Black conversation on representation, access and belonging in today’s cultural landscape.
