plainsightSOUND is a music research project, aimed at rediscovering colonial and postcolonial voices in British classical music.
Focusing on the stories of classical musicians in Britain of African and Caribbean descent, including those from former British colonies, the project will explore their lives as well as their musical activity in Britain before 1970.
