BBC Radio Three has pledged to play more music from composers from ethnic minority backgrounds - who bosses say have been 'unfairly forgotten'. Amid a push for a 'more diverse repertoire', the radio station, which focuses on classical music and opera, will shine a spotlight on the work of BAME composers. It comes as seven researchers have been £5,000 grants as part of a joint scheme by BBC Radio 3 and UK Research and Innovation's (UKRI) Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). Researchers will use the funding to delve into the stories and works of seven composers who have been 'historically marginalised, despite their significant influence on classical music'.
