The birdsong of Spring, the downpours of Summer, the frosts of Winter: everyone’s got their favourite bit of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
There’s still nothing to match the sensation of hearing these four evergreen concertos performed live, and tonight Baroque specialist Richard Egarr and the LPO’s own Alice Ivy-Pemberton bring their shared energy to music that never gets any less fresh. But first, as part of our ‘Moments Remembered’ season, there’s a sideways look at what makes a classic: the Vivaldi inspired Requiem by African-American composer Julia Perry, and Evan Williams’s playful, provocative piece that discusses his own place in classical music as a young African-American composer.
Please note venue.

The most sheerly exquisite playing came in the second movement. The tenderly beautiful solos (step forward the LPO’s recently appointed co-leader Alice Ivy-Pemberton) were the icing on the deliciously swaying slow-waltz cake.
