VIVALDI: RECOMPOSED
NOVEMBER 14–17, 2024
Rediscover centuries-old classics in a completely new light, with two works that infuse music of the Baroque period with shimmering contemporary flourishes. Following the festive splash of one of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Novelletten for Strings, David Bruce uses brief sequences from the music of Jean-Baptiste Lully to create a vibrant kaleidoscope of sound in the U.S. premiere of his Lully Loops. Afterwards, fall in love with The Four Seasons all over again through Max Richter’s mesmerizing reimagining of Vivaldi’s timeless masterpiece, which preserves the original’s emotional depth and enduring appeal for generations to come.
