The evening features Max Richter’s The Four Seasons Recomposed, a bold and mesmerizing reimagining of Vivaldi’s beloved masterpiece showcasing our phenomenal concertmaster Kenya Patzer. Blending the beauty of the Baroque era with modern musical textures, Richter transforms one of classical music’s most recognizable works into a thrilling new listening experience. Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte takes listeners on an unexpected journey, where elegant classical traditions gradually give way to surprising harmonies, playful gestures, and moments of breathtaking beauty. Rounding out the program is Edward Elgar’s Spanish Lady Suite, a delightful rediscovery of music inspired by the composer’s unfinished opera, filled with colorful melodies, theatrical charm, and unmistakable English elegance.
