The Four Seasons: From Vivaldi to Piazzolla

Join us for a unique concert featuring the extraordinary Mystery Ensemble. 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.

Mystery Ensemble invites you to journey from the 21st century into authentic baroque and then into 20th-century Argentina. The ensemble’s sensitive approach to both composers, combined with a touch of drive and charismatic presentation, creates a mesmerising new universe of sounds.
