Join us for an extraordinary musical dialog between two visionary composers - Antonio Vivaldi and Max Richter - performed by the Ensemble Sinfonietta Bern in the contemporary Kirchensaal Der MaiHof - Pfarrei St. Josef in Lucerne.
This program opens up a new perspective on the iconic cycle The Four Seasons. Rather than presenting a single unified version, the concert takes you on a journey through the seasons, alternating between Vivaldi's colorful baroque original and Richter's contemporary reinterpretation. Each movement becomes a conversation across the centuries - between tradition and innovation, between the manuscript and the cinematic.
Max Richter, one of the most renowned composers of our time, achieved worldwide fame with Recomposed: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons, a project that combines classical string sounds with ambient minimal music. Since its release in 2012, the album has conquered the charts and established itself as a modern classic. Alongside Richter's luminous soundscapes, Vivaldi's masterful depictions of nature, life and time retain their impressive power – a musical calendar full of color, charm and vitality.In this unique concert, you can expect a careful selection of interwoven pieces by both composers as well as additional pieces from Richter's solo albums and film scores - a deep, immersive listening experience.
