The Four Seasons: From Vivaldi to Piazzolla

Join us at a beautiful 19th-century church in the heart of the Royal Borough of Kensington for an evening of great  music.

This spectacular performance includes Antonio Vivaldi’s beloved cycle of violin and string concertos, «The Four Seasons». and Astor Piazzolla’s passionate «The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires». Vivaldi’s «The Four Seasons» is one of his most renowned works, synonymous with his name. The four concertos, «Spring», «Summer», «Autumn» and «Winter» have captivated audiences for three centuries.

In the 20th century, Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla created «The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires», breathing new life into tango. Piazzolla’s cycle contrasts baroque motifs with a blend of classical, jazz, and Afro-Spanish traditions. His compositions feature vibrant emotions, sparkling colours, hot Argentine rhythms, unusual harmonies, tango motifs, and incredible expression.
