The Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra proposes an epic confrontation between two great musicians from different styles and eras, Vivaldi and Piazolla.
Like sunrises and sunsets, the seasons are always different, even more so when they inspire composers so far apart in time and space.
What would summers have been like in the first half of the 18th century in Venice?
And the springs of the 1960s in Buenos Aires? In response to questions like these, this concert proposes an epic confrontation between two great musicians from different styles and eras, with unpredictable but certainly complementary results.
On the one hand, the lush baroque sound of Vivaldi, the famous four concertos named after the seasons.
On the other, the nostalgic voluptuousness of Piazzolla's Argentinian tango, this time with the violin replacing the accordion.
The Concertmaster of the Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa, Ana Pereira, takes over the musical direction and the soloist position in the Eight Seasons concert, on June 15th, at 17:00, at the Tivoli BBVA Theatre.
