Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
The birdsong of Spring, the downpours of Summer, the frosts of Winter: everyone’s got their favourite bit of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. There’s still nothing to match the sensation of hearing these four evergreen concertos performed live, and tonight Baroque specialist Richard Egarr and the LPO’s own Alice Ivy-Pemberton bring their shared energy to music that never gets any less fresh. But first, as part of our ‘Moments Remembered’ season, there’s a sideways look at what makes a classic: the Vivaldi-inspired Requiem by African-American composer Julia Perry, and Evan Williams’s playful, provocative piece that discusses his own place in classical music as a young African-American composer.Tickets for Vivaldi’s Four Seasons includes access to After Dark: Bluegrass with Alice Ivy-Pemberton after the performance in the Queen Elizabeth Hall Foyer. The After Dark performance is standing only.Please note venue.
