What better way to start the season than with Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, one of the most sensorial pieces of Baroque music. “The wait is over – H+H is excited to welcome audiences back to live performances. Performed by the H+H Orchestra, it will be a moment to celebrate live performance and a community gathering once again. The evening will begin with a joyous curtain-raiser, selections from Handel’s effervescent Water Music, a suite of short pieces known for its high-spirited movements “You can hear the wind blowing and the thunder crashing and for a moment you get to see the world through the lens of a true virtuoso who experienced everything around him through music.” “ The Four Seasons is a joy to play because of Vivaldi’s brilliance,” said Aisslinn Nosky, concertmaster. Audience members can close their eyes and escape to a picturesque Northern Italy and follow along as shepherds tend to their flock, hunters stalk their prey, and villagers celebrate the fall harvest. One of the most innovative pieces in classical music, Vivaldi spent years perfecting The Four Seasons, translating the poems he had written into beautiful music. Published in 1725, The Four Seasons stands as one of the earliest examples of music with a narrative element, evoking the sounds of nature. The performance will be led by Concertmaster Aisslinn Nosky, performing on violin alongside the H+H orchestra.įamed for its use in countless movies, television shows and commercials, and video games, Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons gives musical expression to each season of the year.
