Join us for an evening featuring the famous Antonio Vivaldi cycle The Four Seasons in the unique interpretation of contemporary composer Max Richter, performed by the extraordinary Mystery Ensemble.

Max Richter is the composer of music for dozens of feature films and documentaries. The European Film Academy voted him the best film composer in 2008. He reinterpreted Antonio Vivaldi's music in the spirit of minimalism and postmodernism. Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons is one of Richter’s most famous works. After its release in 2012, the recording topped the iTunes Classical Music charts in over 20 countries.

Max Richter has recorded 12 solo albums and performed at the London Barbican, the Paris Philharmonic, the Sydney Opera House and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. His projects include the Sum opera and the Infra ballet, choreographed by Wayne McGregor, at Covent Garden. Richter’s music has also featured in films including Shutter Island by Martin Scorsese, Last Love on Earth by David Mackenzie, and Waltz with Bashir, for which he received the European Film Academy award for Best Composer.

The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi is one of the most famous and frequently performed works of classical music. The Italian master captured in music the way his contemporaries saw the world and nature, creating both a philosophical reflection on the seasons and a musical journey through Italy.

Why do we have a restoration Levy?

Put very simply, our restoration levy is an additional charge added to your ticket price which is directly invested back into the venue. This money is used for critical maintenance, repairs, and preservation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the building. As the 3rd oldest church building in Glasgow, dating back to 1836, Saint Luke's requires ongoing care and special restoration to maintain its historic character and facilities. This levy will enable us to fund essential projects that will safeguard the venue's future as a vibrant hub for live music and community events.

If you would like to be kept up to date on progress with how we are using this fund then please follow us on social media @stlukesglasgow, and sign up to our mailing list where we will send out quarterly updates on the improvements that your donations are helping us make.
