“There’s a weird alchemical process involved in the crowning of cultural icons. Why have “The Four Seasons” prevailed? . . . They’re good music with catchy tunes that propel the music forward and never overstay their welcome. Another part of the alchemy is the urge to replicate. . . . I can’t think of another work that has inspired so many direct spinoffs.” – The Washington Post

What will our future sound like if we don’t act now on climate change? In 1725, Vivaldi composed The Four Seasons, a series of concertos that gave musical expression to the seasons—murmuring streams, singing birds, harvest festivals, winter wind, and lazy summer days— and is now one of the most popular pieces of classical music. The [uncertain] Four Seasons is a recomposition that reflects climate predictions for 2050 if no effort is made to address climate change. Featuring GRAMMY-nominated violinist Jesse Irons, both works are offered side-by-side accompanied by the original sonnets and new poetry by Kerem Durdag to transform your experience and understanding of sound.
