Four Seasons and a Souvenir

Alina Ibragimova joins the EU Chamber Orchestra for a special performance of Vivaldi's remarkable pictorial evocations of the four seasons. Former Poet Laureate Andrew Motion's specially commissioned poems will set the scene before each concerto. Moving on a couple of centuries, and heading south from Venice to Florence, EUCO perform the orchestral transcription of Tchaikovsky's string sextet, his affectionate and richly sonorous tribute to the Tuscan city.
