2023 - 2: Vivaldi's Four Seasons at the Proms

Violinist and conductor Pekka Kuusisto is joined by innovative folk musician Ale Carr to perform Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons as it's never been heard before, reimagining the timeless concertos as a magical world of folklore. In a concert led by Kuusisto's love for the natural world, Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen open the concert with the David Attenborough-inspired work, Birds of Paradise by Andrea Tarrodi, before Beethoven's First Symphony brings the first half to a rousing close. Presented by Katie Derham from the Royal Albert Hall.
