The chill of winter will shiver through this concerto by Vivaldi. It is paired with Piazzolla’s Invierno, portraying the moods of winter in Buenos Aires. Franz Schubert set 24 poems of Wilhelm Müller to music to create the song cycle Winterreise. Hans Zender’s “composed interpretation” of it stretches the music, interrupts it, and subjects it to cinematic slights of hand, creating a conversation between the past and the present.
Concert Repertoire Includes Vivaldi: Winter from The Four Seasons Piazzolla: Invierno Porteño from Estaciones Porteñas Schubert/Zender: Selections from Winterreise
