“Winter” from two different hemispheres with Vivaldi, Piazzolla and the ASO  

November 14, 2009

Saturday 8:00pm - 10:00pm

Detail:

Join the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra for an entertaining night out featuring the MarcOlivia violin/viola duo.

The duo will be featured on Vivaldi's "Winter" from The Four Seasons; Piazzolla's "Winter" from “The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires;” and Arnold's “Concerto for Two Violins.” The concert will conclude with Brahms Symphony No. 2. Piazzolla was inspired by Vivaldi’s piece, but his music has the taste of tango and South American in it.
