Get ready for a fresh take on Vivaldi's beloved Four Seasons! The Appalachian Chamber Music Festival presents the Four Seasons reimagined in “Seasonal voices" a unique concert experience at the historic St. John the Evangelist Church in Frederick, Maryland.

This innovative program features Vivaldi's iconic masterpiece interwoven with the passionate tango-infused compositions of Astor Piazzolla, also known for his own Four Seasons.  Hear these familiar pieces reimagined in a captivating chamber music setting.

The talented artists of ACMF will present an intimate portrayal of these beloved ensemble pieces. Prepare to be surprised by the unexpected connections that emerge as we experience these two iconic composers' visions of the seasons side-by-side.

Poetry elevates the music in this unique program.  Acclaimed poet Jordan Burke has curated a selection of poems that resonate with the emotional landscapes explored in the music.  These poems will include Vivaldi's own writings about the seasons, alongside other carefully chosen selections.  The poetry will be interwoven throughout the performance, adding another layer of depth to the exploration of the seasonal cycle.

"The Four Seasons Reimagined: A Season of Voices" is more than just a concert; it's a chance to rediscover familiar masterpieces in a whole new light.  Experience the virtuosity of our chamber musicians, the emotional power of Vivaldi and Piazzolla, and the beauty of poetry, all woven together into a truly unique event.
