Four World Seasons: Vivaldi and Panufnik
Thursday 26 September 2024
7:00 pm - 8:10 pm
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has earned its place as a classical music favourite. And for good reason – it seems to have it all, from the joy of spring to a blazing summer thunderstorm. Yet in between these traditional soundscapes lies the subtleties of the world’s micro-seasons that don’t get as much love.
Enter Four World Seasons; Roxanna Panufnik’s colourful composition commissioned and premiered by LMP. Written for the same instruments as Vivaldi’s masterpiece – give or take the odd Tibetan singing bowl – Panufnik’s spin-on-a-classic transports you from Japanese cherry-blossom season to the Autumnal folk rhythms of Albania.
While your ears travel through time and space, your eyes will be transported to each season through live, digital projections.
This concert will run for 75 minutes without an interval.
