The Four Seasons and Sonnets - Nikolay Madoyan presents Vivaldi with a poetic twist

About this event

Virtuoso violinist Nikolay Madoyan and conductor Karen Durgaryan offer a passionate interpretation of Vivaldi's masterpiece The Four Seasons for their debut in IDAGIO's Global Concert Hall. They are joined by the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia in this special performance from the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall in Yerevan.

The series of four violin concertos was revolutionary in musical idea, giving unparalleled expression to the seasons of the year, unveiling the blossoming nature, snowy landscapes and whirlwind storms. Vivaldi masterfully evokes the spirit of each season representing singing birds, buzzing bees and hunting scenes. The composer had artfully related The Four Seasons to his sonnets, which greatly emphasized the atmosphere of the seasons and formed a unique bond between music and poetry. This concert will allow the audience to view these sonnets, carefully adjusted to each movement of the violin concertos.
