Aldeburgh Carneval with Alex Wilson
16th August, 2010

I have been asked to curate a series of events at the Harrogate International Festival and am very pleased to present three exciting events :
Find the Rhythm Workshop with Alex Wilson and Lee Knights
23rd July 2010
Premiere of a new work for piano, kora and string quartet - especially commissioned by Harrogate International Festival
THE COMPASS SUITE - world premiere
21st June, 2010 - Canada Square Park, Canary Wharf, London
The Summer Solstice sees a premiere of an exciting new musical work commissioned by Canary Wharf. Directed by pianist/composer Alex Wilson, The Compass Suite takes the listener on a
worldwide musical journey.
Composing for "North" is Kathryn Tickell, who recently featured on Sting's If on a Winter's Night. British-Bangladeshi composer,
Kishon Khan, then takes up the baton for "East" with a compelling fusion of western and Asian sounds. Going "South" to Mali
in West Africa, Alex Wilson takes us deep into the Mandingue musical tradition before sweeping across the Atlantic to some steamy, hot Afro-Cuban sounds. We finish by heading "West" for
some slamming jazz-funk composed by James Morton which will include the powerful sounds of 10-strong Kinetika Bloco music troupe.
Alex has assembled a stellar seventeen-piece band to play this new work - these talented instrumentalists have accompanied Craig David, Incognito, Steve Winwood, Sting, Tom Jones, Level 42, Amy
Winehouse, Pee Wee Ellis, Courtney Pine, George Michael and a myriad of other artists.
This one off performance of a brand new, cutting edge work is not to be missed .... The Compass Suite.
