KIRSTEN WILLIAMS LEADS CSO THROUGH VIVALDI’S FOUR SEASONS
LLEWELLYN HALL | 18 – 19 OCT, 8PM | $16 – $118 VIA CSO.ORG
Composed in the early 18th century, Vivaldi’s programmatic Four Seasons was published with a suite of poems dedicated to the sensory experiences of la primavera (spring), l’estate (summer), l’autunno (autumn) and l’inverno (winter), inspiring countless arrangements and remixes, from opera to video games and all in between. Over the Atlantic, Piazzolla’s Four Seasons were scored for violin, piano, electric guitar, double bass and bandoneon – often in tango music. The CSO will present Leonid Desyatnikov’s popular orchestral arrangement, elegantly referencing Vivaldi’s Seasons from two centuries earlier.
