London’s Trinity Laban has announced that the conservatoire has committed to a 10-point charter laid out by Black Lives in Music (BLiM), a taskforce of Black leaders, influencers and musicians based in the UK.
In an ongoing relationship, Trinity Laban will work to actively improve the experience of young people of African and Caribbean heritages within jazz and classical music.
The conservatoire has already begun this work, including the establishment of a Black Lives Matter Working Group, creating a mechanism for the anonymous reporting of micro-aggressions, and forming partnerships with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra and Tomorrow’s Warriors.
