Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at the Proms

Â鶹ԼÅÄ Proms 2023

Finnish violinist and conductor Pekka Kuusisto leads the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen in a concert of works by Beethoven, Vivaldi and Andrea Tarrodi.

Electrifying violinist and conductor Pekka Kuusisto rips up the rule book to play Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons like you’ve never heard it before. He is joined by innovative folk musician Ale Carr, and the Scandinavian duo reimagine Vivaldi’s timeless concertos as a magical world of folklore.

In a concert led by Kuusisto’s love for the natural world, the renowned orchestra Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen opens with a David Attenborough-inspired work, Birds of Paradise by Andrea Tarrodi, evoking a teeming tropical rainforest.

Beethoven’s glorious and groundbreaking First Symphony brings the first half to a rousing close, before The Four Seasons tops the bill.

Katie Derham presents, joined by special guests.
