Trey Lee:

Seasons Interrupted w/English Chamber Orchestra

Trey Lee to Release New Album Seasons Interrupted, featuring World-Premiere Recordings of New Arrangements by Lee. The internationally-acclaimed cellist is joined by the English Chamber Orchestra, exploring the impacts of climate change through the music of Schubert, Piazzolla, and Kirmo Lintinen.

Trey Lee, the Hong Kong-born, Berlin-based cellist of international renown, announces the release of his new album, Seasons Interrupted, scheduled for release on May 17 on the British label Signum Records. It is Lee’s first collaboration with the London-based English Chamber Orchestra, the most recorded chamber orchestra in the world. The album also features conductor Emilia Hoving and pianist Georgy Tchaidze.

“With the cello as a platform, I seek a sober yet trenchant means to tell the story of our seasons, and, concurrently, create a musical narrative to account for how this crisis unfolds,” writes Lee in his program note. “These works are expressions of human emotions that are open to interpretation and were not conceived to decry the climate crisis; however, I harness their emotive power to illustrate this story and to amplify this narrative when words alone do not suffice.”
