Island Orchestra with Mike Anthony and friends

Join us for a night that celebrates heritage, community and the global impact of Black music performed with elegance, soul and serious stage power.

Experience the power, passion and pride of Caribbean music like never before as the Island Orchestra takes to the stage at Opera North for a truly unforgettable live performance blending the richness of orchestral sound with the heartbeat of reggae, soca, calypso and contemporary Black music influences.

Set inside one of Leeds most iconic performance spaces, this special event brings together local and national musicians, vibrant arrangements and the energy of live Caribbean sound, reimagined on a grand scale. Whether you grew up on these sounds or are discovering them for the first time, this is your chance to feel every note, every rhythm and every story behind the music.

Expect goosebumps. Expect nostalgia. Expect pure musical excellence.
After party 10pm-1am.

In partnership with Black Music Festival.
