Four Seasons, Four Elements

Featuring: Emmanuel Resche-Caserta The sound of nature. From chaos to creation, this innovative program unleashes the raw power of nature in sound. Rebel’s daring Les Élémens erupts with a shocking musical “Chaos,” sounding every note of the scale before shaping Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. Then, in Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons , nature bursts into vivid colour — birds take flight, thunder rumbles, frost glitters, and fires blaze. Thrilling and evocative, this is Baroque music at its most adventurous.
