12 Ensemble: Vivaldi Recomposed
Friday 05 June 2026
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Fresh, direct and dazzlingly virtuosic, 12 Ensemble is an orchestra with a radical difference – a collective of fiercely committed young artists, determined that every note they play should speak to audiences right here and right now. And even though Max Richter’s visionary reboot of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has been a worldwide phenomenon, make no mistake: 12 Ensemble has something of their own to say, creating sounds that are both instantly familiar and unforgettably new. They cause a sensation at St Martin-in-the-Fields every year; this is another chance to experience a truly 21st century meeting of musical minds.
Please note this performance will last for approximately 60 minutes without an interval.
