In the 20th century, Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla created «The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires,» breathing new life into tango.

His compositions feature vibrant emotions, sparkling colours, hot Argentine rhythms, unusual harmonies, tango motifs, and incredible expression.

Join us at St George’s Hall in Bristol on November 3rd for an evening featuring the famous Antonio Vivaldi cycle «The Four Seasons» in the unique interpretation of contemporary composer Max Richter, performed by the extraordinary Mystery Ensemble. Max Richter is the composer of music for dozens of feature films and documentaries. The European Film Academy voted him the best film composer in 2008. He changed the music of Antonio Vivaldi in the spirit of minimalism and postmodernism. Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons is one of Richter’s most famous works. After its release in 2012, the recording topped the iTunes Classical Music charts in over 20 countries. Max Richter has recorded 12 solo albums and performed at the London Barbican, the Paris Philharmonic, the Sydney Opera and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and among his projects are the Sum Opera and the Infra ballet (choreographed by Wayne MacGregor) at Covent Garden. Richter’s music is heard in many performances around the world, as well as in the films «Shutter Island» by Martin Scorsese, «Last Love on Earth» by David Mackenzie, «Waltz with Bashir», for the soundtrack to which he received the award «Best Composer» from the European Film Academy. The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi is one of the most famous and frequently performed works of classical music. The Italian master wittily and gracefully captured in music the way his contemporaries saw the world and nature. The Vivaldi cycle is both a philosophical reflection of a magnificent illustrated «calendar» and a «sightseeing tour» of the regions of Italy.

Recent digital musical instruments have questioned the traditional relationship between the individual musician and their instrument. As well as creating opportunities to inter-connect performers’ systems, technology has opened a field of entangled instruments; where the players are so enmeshed as to be considered a single mutually played instrument. This workshop offers a practical exploration of the experience of playing and designing two-person entangled instruments for close mutual participation. Participants will start with a series of collaborative ice-breakers, designed to entangle and lay the foundations of a care-based experience. This will be followed by a period of playing and reflecting on Steve’s existing instruments in pairs and in a group context. Then finally we will conclude within a period of practical instrument making. Lunch included. Information Source: Centre for Creative Technologies, University of Bristol | eventbrite

Releasing your Voice through Movement and Play14th November 2024, 18:45 - 20:00 | Wild Goose Space @ The Yard, Bristol Facilitated by Camilla Mason Together we will learn;Silly and playful ways to express the voice, body and creativityCreateconnections with othersOpen up creative freedomI believe that voice work doesn't need to be scary, serious, or performative. Common fears about singing or sounding good often prevent us from accessing our voice, creating further blockagesand resistance. The stories and narratives we hold about our voice can sometimes stop us from experiencing the joy and connectionit brings when we unite with this universal instrument we all possess. In the holistic and spiritual world, there is often a lot of seriousness surrounding voice work, which may unintentionally perpetuate the ideathat we must always sound good. Who is this for?All genders, ages and backgroundsAnyone looking to enhance the power of their voice in a playful, non-judgemental spaceNo singing, music or dance experience requiredInspired by improv theatre, play therapy, intuitive movement, and sound therapy techniques, this workshop is designed to create a joyful experiencefor people of all ages, genders and backgrounds. Play is a fundamental, powerful tool for healing and self-expression, and this space aims to break down barriersand ignite aspects of ourselves we might not have recognised before,using the power of our voices. What people have said: Camilla’s relaxed and authentic energy makes it easy to show up as myself in her spaces. What I love is she’s not forced, you can tell this comes from her soul to yours. Queer and trans-inclusive. - Liane “You demonstrated to me that with silence, stillness and internal visualisations, my creativity is always there, just beneath the surface, ready to be accessed. This was a valuable reminder that everything I need is already within me, if I can create this energy around my creative pursuits. This was a lightbulb moment - thank you!” - Seb About your FacilitatorWhether you're searching for stress relief, self-discovery, or creative inspiration, I am devoted to supporting your journey towards a life filled with creative embodiment, harmony, and fulfilment.
