VIVALDI Le Quattro Stagioni, Op. 8 "The Four Seasons"
GLASS Violin Concerto No. 2 "The American Four Seasons"

Magical, hauntingly beautiful and soaring, capped with plenty of violin pyrotechnics and an ending that violin soloist McDuffie says "goes like a bat out of hell." "The American Four Seasons" is only the second violin concerto by the prolific Philip Glass, whom Rolling Stone has called "the best-known living classical composer on the planet." The piece, written specifically for McDuffie, premiered in December, 2009 and the Toronto Star wrote it was "one of the most exciting musical evenings of the year." McDuffie and the orchestra pair the new work with their unique interpretation of its inspiration, Vivaldi's cherished "The Four Seasons." The orchestra, one of Europe's premier ensembles, will perform the Vivaldi on baroque-era instruments.
