The Seasons of South America

Concerts at the Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle are currently subject to coronavirus-related restrictions. This event is therefore going ahead with an amended programme and reduced seating capacity. There will be two concerts on 4 October 2020 at 18:45 and 20:45.

Vivaldi’s »Four Seasons« is one of the most popular classical works of all time. The soloist’s artistic abilities in harmony with Vivaldi’s vivid tonal language reflect the natural events, weather phenomena and moods of each season in turn. Much has changed in the 300 years since the work was composed – not least as a result of the climate crisis. In his version of the »Four Seasons«, the »Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas« (The »Four Seasons of Buenos Aires«), Astor Piazzolla, founder of »tango nuevo« and one of South America’s leading composers, puts the focus on the life of man.

The Hamburg Stage Ensemble is made up of young, highly qualified instrumentalists who, together, pursue the vision not only of playing music, but also of sharing its magic with as many people as possible. In that, their focus is on the joy of making music together. The small number of musicians and the conscious decision to do without a conductor are intended to allow the audience to participate directly in the concert programme.
