Live At The Great Presents Eights Seasons: Vivaldi vs Piazzolla

Live at The Great presents Eight Seasons Vivaldi vs Piazolla featuring violinist Kristian Winther and didgeridoo player Gumaroy Newman in a lively and diverse program.

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons will sound as if nature herself was out on the town; be transported through dreamtime storytelling and the Australian seasons by an Aboriginal elder accompanied by traditional song man Gumaroy Newman playing the yidaki (didgeridoo); revel in the exotic Latin seasons from Argentina’s rebel composer Astor Piazzolla. Kristian Winther leads his hotshot octet and harpsichordist Anthony Hamad in a collision of wildly contrasting seasons.
