About this performance
8 p.m. Yardley Hall
The Four Seasons, Antonio Vivaldi
The American Four Seasons, Philip Glass
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is a point of inspiration for a new piece. The worldwide premiere tour of Philip Glass’s longawaited Violin Concerto No. 2, The American Four Seasons, will be performed by world-renowned violinist Robert McDuffie. Both works will be presented side by side.
The Venice Baroque Orchestra will play Vivaldi’s work on period instruments and bows, then switch to contemporary
instruments for Glass’s new work.
