Renell Shaw: The Windrush Suite & Echo in the Bones

Join Artist in Residence Renell Shaw for an evening that celebrates history, identity, and the power of music.

He opens the night with the live premiere of his Ivor Novello Award-winning The Windrush Suite — a heartfelt tribute to his Caribbean roots and the trailblazing Windrush generation who arrived in Britain in 1948, building lives, community, and culture against the odds. Featuring a world-class live ensemble, intimate family recordings, and striking visuals, Shaw turns memory into music, bringing the Windrush story to life with depth and soul.

The second half presents Echo in the Bones, Shaw’s electrifying follow-up to The Windrush Suite. This new work explores what it means to be “Black British” through the eyes of the Windrush Generation’s children — weaving music, history, and storytelling into a moving portrait of resistance, legacy, and belonging.

This is more than a concert — it’s an evening of connection, reflection, and celebration. A London performance you won’t want to miss.

This event will last approximately 1 hour 40 minutes, including an interval.
