Fury after woke orchestra refused to play National Anthem after Queen Elizabeth II died
...
The Swiss festival ran from August 8 until September 11, with the orchestra playing during the mourning period held in the UK. But the band's founder decided to ban playing the National Anthem because it symbolises the racist British empire.

The musical ensemble is made up of 62 members from ethnically diverse backgrounds, who founder and artistic director Chi-chi Nwanoku said many were the direct result of Britain's slave trade.

Writing in an email, the 66-year-old musician said: "The Chineke! Orchestra is full of musicians who are not from the UK and many who are the direct result of their ancestors being enslaved. We will not be playing the National Anthem in Lucerne."
...
she noted that the orchestra had marked the death of Prince Philip in April 2021 with a minute's silence.

She said: "Many in the orchestra were incredibly upset about being made to do that, with the reason being that the Empire is virtually entirely built on racism and the plundering of Africa."

Thank you!
