Mid-Atlantic Symphony Presents "Eight Seasons"

Presenting Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Astor Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (a combined Eight Seasons) on the same program seems to be a very logical pairing – and that is precisely why the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra’s November program will feature violinist Igor Yuzefovich’s version of these two works. Although composed centuries apart – Vivaldi’s work from 1716 to 1725 and Piazzolla’s from 1965 to 1970 – the two works perfectly represent nature’s seasons in the composers’ respective times and hemispheres.

“We are so pleased to be able to bring these vibrant, joyous, and beautiful pieces to our audience,” said MSO Board President Jeffrey Parker. “Igor’s musicianship and understanding of these works will give our audience a perfect rendition of the two composers’ visions.”

There are, of course, differences and similarities in each of these two works, but each is a masterpiece in its own right that has been captivating and exciting audiences for centuries (in Vivaldi’s case) and for more than half a century (in Piazzolla’s case). It is a fortunate audience that enjoys them both on the same program.

A note on the guest artist: Russian-born Igor Yuzefovich currently is the Concertmaster of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra; he previously served as Assistant Concertmaster with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.  As an active chamber musician, he co-founded the Monument Piano Trio that debuted to critical acclaim in Baltimore and has since captivated audiences across the United States.
