Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall

Mozart & Vivaldi's Four Seasons

Jeannette Sorrell, Conductor
Avi Avital, Mandolin

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons
Bologne, Chevalier de St-Georges: Symphony No. 2
Mozart: Symphony No. 35, “Haffner”

Let’s all agree: The Four Seasons is an undisputed classical Top 40s hit. But, when Grammy-nominated mandolinist Avi Avital plays it, you’ll feel like you’re hearing it for the first time -- fresh and irresistible. Part of your fun will be listening to Vivaldi’s spot-on sound effects—birds, a barking dog, gnats and flies, the chattering of teeth, and slipping on ice. This is a piece for all seasons! Plus, Mozart’s “Haffner,” with a frolicking finale that he instructed had to be played “as fast as possible.”
