Breathing new life into Vivaldi's iconic baroque concerto cycle
In collaboration with virtuoso percussionist James Larter, FIGURE breathes new life into Vivaldi's iconic Baroque concerto cycle. By reimagining the original composition, this performance transforms Vivaldi's vivid depictions of the seasons, blending the texture of strings with an array of pitched and unpitched percussion instruments.
Percussionist and multi-instrumentalist James Larter has always been obsessed with rhythm; whether it be the roaring sound of Brazilian Samba or the intricate palette of the Contemporary classical repertoire, music that makes people move is a passion. He is an in-demand session musician, soloist and composer and has played with a wide and eclectic variety of artists and producers from Sampha, Dave Okumu, KYGO, Berlioz, Gang of Youths and Tony Visconti to the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Bournemouth Symphony, St Petersburg Ballet, English National Opera and the Philharmonia.
