Few works in classical music are as instantly recognisable or endlessly captivating as Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, four violin concertos in which each and every note is so well-known, so well-loved all across the world, yet its familiarity often hides just how radical and imaginative it truly is. While listening to this music, Vivaldi’s composition may speak vividly on its own, yet through the journey tracing a full year in sound, transforming nature into music, there is a sense that each moment is being gently framed, as if an unseen hand is guiding a hidden narrative that may be out of sight, but is always present, always speaking, its voice being the music. In our first concert of 2026, Vocatio:Responsio warmly invites you to hear this masterpiece of eighteenth-century music through fresh ears, as we look forward to unearthing one of the greatest musical stories to stand the test of time.
