Antonio Vivaldi — The Four Seasons
Welcome to our new series at Natelli Woods Bethesda! This limited capacity series is designed to provide an up-close-and-personal experience with our musicians and world-class soloists. We are all about building connections through music and you will have a rare opportunity to create personal relationships with artists that make NOW what we are.
We introduce violinist, Kevin Zhu, winner of the 2018 Paganini Violin Competition and recipient of the 2021 Avery Fisher Career Grant. Kevin will take the audience through a journey of the four seasons. Kevin performs on the c1722 "Lord Wandsworth" Antonio Stradivarious violin, which is on loan from the Ryuji Ueno Foundation and Rare Violins In Consortium Artists and Benefactors Collaborative. The instrument was crafted when Vivaldi composed The Four Seasons.
The beauty of music and nature is universal and timeless. Come experience with NOW!
About New Orchestra of Washington (NOW)
Reimagining what have been the limited definitions of "classical music," the New Orchestra of Washington (NOW) welcomes audiences into a transformative musical experience that lessens the distance between our identities and compels listeners to feel something in the sound.
We create what we call "great music without labels." It represents the robust cultural and ethnic diversity in metropolitan Washington, DC, where we're intentional about making orchestral music beautiful and accessible to people from all backgrounds. Our hallmark is small, intimate performances that put audiences at the heart center of musicians who pour the best of themselves and their cultures into immersive concerts that leave attendees inspired.
NOW is guided by six values—collaboration, representation, education, access, technology, and experimentation (CREATE)—to foster innovative, inclusive programming; nurture enriching partnerships; and infuse the global flavors of all music. We lead with love for the experiential music we create and, most important, the people we want to absorb it.
