Bristol event series to honour history of Windrush generation - BBC News

We are delighted that our composer Des Oliver is a major part of this wonderful project. Scenes from his Opera Windrush have been performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and Pegasus Opera Company at the Tung Auditorium. Now the story moves to Bristol Beacon. Read about it below in a BBC piece. For me Des’s writing combines deep intelligence with humour, a balanced and fair outlook on the world and fine compositional technique.

Windrush the Journey

After two wonderful performances at the Tung Auditorium in Liverpool this important and informative production comes to London’s Bernie Grant Arts Centre. 

“Windrush the Journey” features scenes from our wonderful composer’s Opera on the subject. A Pegasus Opera company production in partnership with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. Do go along if you can. It’s a fascinating and beautify performed show.
