Thursday, 4 May 2023 - Vivaldi's Four Seasons as you've NEVER heard them before! VSO Concertmaster Nicholas Wright leads the VSO School of Music's signature string orchestra Sinfonietta, as well as special guest artists, in a performance of Max Richter's bold 2012 re-imagining of one of classical music's most ICONIC works – The Four Seasons. "I fell in love with Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons when I was very young. It was one of the few classical records my parents owned and I listened to it constantly. I would line the needle up, wait for the crackle, and sit back as the music flowed magically into the room…. It's a gateway into the classical music universe. I felt that I had discovered a secret, beautiful world." – Max Richter The Four Seasons: Recomposed concludes a program that celebrates the sonorous power of string music, with Wojciech Kilar's mezmerizing Orawa (1986) and a pair of 18th Century Sammartini symphonies. Discover a fresh perspective on ancient virtuosity, and luxuriate in the sound of the country's most talented young musicians performing alongside master professionals of the VSO. The Orpheum May 4 -
