Anna Meredith Anno*

Step into Oval Space and immerse yourself in the passing of a year. Listen to an exciting premiere by Anna Meredith, based on Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, while watching visual projections of the seasons passing by.

The music intertwines Vivaldi’s original with Anna Meredith’s own writing, using cadenzas and electronics to transform the distinct four concerti into one continuous musical experience.

Approximate running time: 60 minutes (no interval)
