Programme Details

Nick Smart conductor
Leon Foster Thomas steel pan

The Academy welcomes Leon Foster Thomas for this debut performance of his brand new arrangements for jazz orchestra. A gifted jazz musician and steel pan virtuoso from Trinidad and Tobago, Leon blends Caribbean music with the harmonic and improvisational complexities of jazz to create a lively and eclectic meld.

This concert features the premieres of some of Leon’s classic works scaled up for large ensemble, based on his research on the roots, rhythm and reach of Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean jazz.
