Piazzolla's Four Seasons

The evening

Royal Northern Sinfonia and Artistic Partner Maria Włoszczowska return to the Fire Station for a meeting of baroque fire and Buenos Aires heat.

Vivaldi’s Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon opens bright and nimble, before Geminiani’s ‘La Folia’ twists and turns through bold variations. Zelenka’s Hipocondrie brings drama and bite and Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 sparkles with energy. To finish, Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires – pulsing, smoky, and full of life.
