The Four Seasons Reimagined — Richter & Vivaldi

Performed by Ensemble Sinfonietta Bern in an intimate quartet formation, this programme reimagines The Four Seasons as a dialogue between Antonio Vivaldi’s vivid Baroque writing and Max Richter’s ambient-minimalist recompositions. Movements alternate and interweave, contrasting handwritten gestures with cinematic textures. The result is a seasonal journey of shimmering strings, suspended pulses, and sudden bursts of motion, offering both rustic charm and modern radiance. Bonus Richter pieces extend the soundworld into filmic and solo piano resonances, creating a deeply immersive listening experience.

The story follows a religious community swept up in the turmoil of the French Revolution, exploring fear, faith and the need for redemption.
