About
Music✨ Join us on September 5th at the Kensington United Reformed Church, where a chamber orchestra will perform immortal classics in an intimate atmosphere of a church setting, lit by a flicker of hundreds of candles! Experience an unforgettable evening with the music of Antonio Vivaldi, whose timeless compositions continue to captivate audiences worldwide. The programme of the evening includes the iconic «Four Seasons,» a masterpiece that beautifully illustrates the changing seasons through vivid musical imagery. Interesting Facts about Vivaldi’s «Four Seasons»: Composed in 1723, «The Four Seasons» is one of Vivaldi’s most famous works and a prime example of programme music. Each concerto is associated with a sonnet, possibly written by Vivaldi himself, describing the scenes depicted in the music. Vivaldi ingeniously used musical techniques to mimic natural sounds, such as birds singing in spring and dogs barking in summer. The concertos were revolutionary for their time, showcasing Vivaldi’s innovative use of harmony and instrumental techniques. Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of Vivaldi’s music and witness a performance that promises to be both enchanting and inspiring. This is an event not to be missed!
