Uchenna Ngwe

Uchenna is a London-based oboist and researcher. Her academic explorations into creative practice investigate the lives and work of historical Black classical musicians in Britain from the perspective of a performer-curator-activist. She is founder of plainsightSOUND – an online research project uncovering and promoting the work of historical Black classical musicians.

In addition to being a busy freelance musician and educator, she is the artistic director of Decus Ensemble – a flexible, mixed-instrumental group dedicated to performing lesser-known and under-explored works for classical chamber ensemble.
