From birds awakening to sudden storms, Vivaldi's wildly popular musical cycle offers a year filled with hope, flowering growth, and the quiet gathering of energy. In one of the most evocative pieces of pastoral music, you will hear singing birds, murmuring streams, drunken country dancers, and so much more. With violin solos from Berwick Academy alumni, The Four Seasons is Baroque music at its most cinematic. Paired with Haydn's charming and witty "Clock" Symphony.

Join OBF for a free pre-concert lecture, "LET'S TALK! Vivaldi: The Four Seasons, Moderated by Holly Roberts," at 6:45pm in Frohnmayer Music Building Room 163. More information: https://calendar.uoregon.edu/event/lets_talk_vivaldi_the_four_seasons
