At the Riley Theatre
WORLD PREMIERE
A 21st-century reimagining of a classical masterpiece.
Antonio Vivaldi's, The Four Seasons is a well-known piece of classical music characterising the mood of all four meteorological seasons of the year. Four Seasons of the Caribbean is a direct response to this, blending the sounds and feelings of the Caribbean population in Britain.
Composers Philip Herbert, Cassie Kinoshi, Renell Shaw and Ayanna Witter-Johnson were each commissioned to write a ‘season’. The result is a unique blend of sounds, both traditional and modern, featuring a violinist, a steel-pan player, and the outstanding Manchester Camerata.
Join us as we celebrate the legacy of Black British composers and descendants of the Windrush generation.
Four Seasons of the Caribbean has been commissioned by Leeds International Concert Season in partnership with Riley Theatre and Northern School of Contemporary Dance for the Sound Out Leeds series 2023/24.
Ellinor D’Melon – violin
Leon Foster Thomas – steel pan
