Festival Orchester Berlin: Vivaldi's Four Seasons at French Cathedral

About the Event

Experience classical music like never before in this astonishing performance of masterworks by Vivaldi at Berlin's remarkable French Cathedral.

For almost 30 years, the Festival Orchestra Berlin, a multicultural ensemble of musicians from leading European orchestras, has been thrilling audiences with its repertoire of Baroque, Viennese Classical, and Romantic music, complemented by musical rarities. In this concert, the ensemble focuses on the music of the Venetian master Antonio Vivaldi. With his interpretation of the four seasons, he created a timeless work of art. A virtuoso violinist himself, the composer combined four violin concertos in 1725 to form “The Four Seasons.” The natural phenomena characteristic of each season are enhanced by different sounds. The music thus portrays nature, animals, and humans in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. In addition to Antonio Vivaldi's masterpiece, this concert features other highlights by well‐known composers for violin and chamber orchestra. The orchestra plays on old Italian instruments, guaranteeing an outstandingly beautiful sound.
