4 Seasons

Dates

Description

The Thessaloniki Chamber Orchestra presents Antonio Vivaldi’s 4 Seasons, a timeless masterpiece praising the alternations of nature and circularity of time, in a concert that combines music with dancing. The goal is to reconnect audiences with the different sensation that each season of the year should have, through the filter of Vivaldi’s widely-known and emblematic music work.

This production has brought together twelve leading professional orchestra musicians and four music and dance soloists. The work includes what is known as “descriptive” or “program” music. In each concerto, the groundbreaking composer describes one season. The production combines two art forms, music and dance, with the goal of raising awareness on the destruction of the environment that results in the disruption of the natural balance between the four season. Audience members as observers listen to sounds of nature, such as birds chirping or the sound of a storm, and are able to visualize this sensation by watching its artistic manifestation through modern dance.
