Seasons in the Main Square
A clever pairing of Vivaldi and Piazzolla. Because when it's summer for one, it's winter for the other. Right beneath the Risør sun.
About the concert
Of course, Vivaldi isn't the only one who has written about what we all talk about most. The weather and seasons belong to everyone, and we want to showcase others who have captured a feeling or motif from our journey around the sun.
Frank's spring lightness, Russian summer, Argentine winter, and finally the most famous summer of them all. You've certainly never heard this combination of works from different seasons before. At least not in a better setting than the heart of Norway's best summer town.
