KUTTEMPEROOR AUDITORIUM

The Seasons Project

Robert McDuffie, Violin Soloist

with the Venice Baroque Orchestra

October 22, 2010

Thank you for attending.

Academy Award®-nominated American composer Philip Glass (The Hours, Notes on a Scandal), whose repertoire also includes music for dance, theater, chamber ensemble, orchestra, and opera (Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha), re-imagines Vivaldi’s famous violin concertos in this uplifting concert featuring violinist Robert McDuffie and one of Europe’s premiere ensembles, the Venice Baroque Orchestra. The Orchestra plays Vivaldi's The Four Seasons on period instruments and bows then switches to contemporary instruments for Glass’ The American Seasons.

With only 28 performances in the U.S., this concert is a rare concurrence of the finest American and European

classical music.
