Oito Estações | Orquestra Metropolitana de Lisboa

Like birth and sunset, also to the seasons of the year are always different; Even more so when they are a source of inspiration for composers so distant in time and space. What would the summers look like in the first half of the eighteenth century in Venice? And spring in the sixties in Buenos Aires? In response to questions like these, this concert proposes an epic confrontation between two great musicians of different styles and times; A confrontation of unpredictable but certainly complementary results. On the one hand, Vivaldi's baroque lush sound, the celebrated four concerts with the names of the stations. On the other, the nostalgic remnants of the Argentine tango, this time with the violin replacing the accordion. The OML concertino, Ana Pereira, assumes the musical direction and the place of the soloist.
