Vivaldi’s iconic Four Seasons (for which he also wrote accompanying sonnets) meets Piazzolla’s sultry Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas in a program where time, place, and style intertwine. From the bright renewal of Vivaldi’s Spring to the tempestuous heat of his Summer, nature is rendered in Baroque brilliance. Piazzolla’s Winter and Autumn, by contrast, pulse with tango rhythms and urban melancholy, reimagining the seasons through the ardent lens of Buenos Aires. Together, these works offer a striking conversation across continents—earthy, electric, and timeless.
*NOTE: This show will take place rain or shine.
