Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Forces of Nature
28 November @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm AEDT

The natural world has inspired artists, writers and composers for centuries.
But rarely has it been captured more vividly than in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons: the warm glow of summer, the biting winds of winter, the soft descent of autumn and the bursting joy of spring.
300 years after Vivaldi, contemporary composer Max Richter reimagined these iconic works, stripping them down to their essence to reveal new sounds and bring familiar ones back into clearer view.
It’s the perfect centrepiece for this concert, which will inspire primary-aged listeners and have them hearing the world around them with new ears.
