Description:

Have you ever thought about how to depict spring birdsong in music, a thunderstorm on a hot summer day, the rustle of autumn leaves, or snowflakes slowly swirling on a calm winter evening?

Antonio Vivaldi is one of the world’s greatest masters of sound, who, with his brilliant imagination and talent, was able to bring all four seasons to life in his symphonic score.

In the cycle of violin concertos The Four Seasons, each piece is like a musical story, inviting us to imagine and feel how nature changes throughout the year. Vivaldi’s music is vivid, colorful, and full of surprises.

Especially for the youngest audience of the Liepaja Symphony Orchestra, the musical colors and score of surprises created by Vivaldi will be enhanced by actor-experimenters, directors, and performers Ģirts Šolis and Rihards Zelezņevs. They have prepared a visual and colorfully experimental presentation of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, which will be a wonderful opportunity for children to experience how music can become an exciting adventure.
