  • In 2024, TDE commissioned Ayanna Witter-Johnson to write a new suite for our sextet of string quartet, clarinet and harp, drawing on her Caribbean heritage to create something truly unique and special reflecting on the big Windrush anniversary in 2023 and the ongoing challenges.
     The aims were to create a powerful musical experience that celebrated Caribbean music heritage and           culture while reflecting on the historical significance of the Windrush generation. By blending classical           and Caribbean sounds, this collaborative project has ignited conversations, fostered friendship, and               deepened understanding, contributing to a more inclusive and culturally rich society.
