Vivaldi Four Seasons by Candlelight

Bristol Ensemble
Director / Soloist Roger Huckle

Vivaldi The Four Seasons
Einaudi  Primavera, Divenire, Petricor, I Giorni
Piazzolla  Summer

The wonderful nature-inspired music of Vivaldi and Einaudi come together in this stunning spring concert.

The Vivaldi Four Seasons is one of the  best loved pieces of classical music managing to capture the character of the Italian countryside through a year as the landscape and nature changes with the seasons. As the first example of programme music we introduce the story of the Four Seasons in a humorous and revealing way.

The natural world is also beautifully depicted by the works of Ludovico Einaudi as he takes us through Spring, the evocative Petricor – smell of rain and I Giorni – ‘In the Days, Our Life’. Also Astor Piazzolla pulsating tango ‘Summer’ conclude a fascinating emotional and uplifting programme of music.

The Tobacco Factory Theatre will be transformed with 400 candles adorning the stage.
