The Four Seasons

This concert presents two celebrated musical interpretations of the seasons side by side. Violinist Blake Pouliot leads the orchestra through Vivaldi's beloved "The Four Seasons," where bright violin passages capture the character of each season—from chirping spring birds and summer thunderstorms to autumn harvests and winter's icy chill. Vivaldi's Winter movement is particularly famous, with its energetic, racing violin lines that have become instantly recognizable in modern culture. The program then shifts dramatically with Piazzolla's "The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires," which reimagines the seasonal theme through the passionate rhythms and sultry melodies of tango. This creative pairing lets you experience two completely different musical styles and cities, moving from baroque elegance to the vibrant pulse of Argentine nightlife. It's a sophisticated evening that works well for families comfortable with classical concert formats and older children who enjoy instrumental music. Tickets are available by calling the box office.
