A project a lifetime in the making.
Manchester Camerata’s Artistic Partner, Daniel Pioro, has been borderline obsessed with Vivialdi’s iconic Four Seasons since he was a boy. So much so that in 2023, he managed to convince his friend, the author Sir Michael Morpurgo, to write text specifically to accompany Vivaldi’s masterwork.
With a residency at London’s Southbank Centre and his 2019 proms debut being described as “the most inventive and engaging” by The Daily Telegraph, Daniel Pioro is one of the most exciting violinists on the planet. His stunning album on the Platoon record label, Saint Boy, is a collection of ancient and contemporary, sacred and secular music for solo violin, chamber organ, and string quartet.
Join Daniel, Manchester Camerata, with a reading of Sir Michael Morpurgo’s poetry, as they elevate this work with unmatched energy, performing intimately in the round at The Great Nave of Gorton Monastery.
There will be two showings of this concert:
- A 3pm concert for all ages (1 hour long)
- A 4:30 concert, which will also include Caroline Shaw’s The Evergreen alongside Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
