Vivaldi's Four Seasons by Candlelight
Karen Stephenson, cello
Festival Orchestra
Chris Brammeld, conductor
Our closing concert is Vivaldi’s Four Seasons by candlelight. This collection of four concerti is quite simply among the most famous music ever written - and for good reason. Vivaldi’s music is by turns vibrant, sad, exhilarating, melancholy, jubilant, dangerous.
Renowned cellist, Karen Stephenson, has worked with our Artistic Director, Dr Chris Brammeld, to create a unique adaptation of the original score for violin. The programme includes a new arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s “The Seasons” featuring our new Festival Orchestra.
