THE FOUR SEASONS featuring Vadim Gluzman with COmpass REsonance

From North African winds to the Adriatic Sea’s microclimates, Venice boasts some of Europe's most captivating seasonal shifts—and no music captures the essence of Venetian life year-round quite like Vivaldi’s "The Four Seasons." Imagine gazing out your window during a summer storm, mosquitoes humming, dogs barking, wild winter winds sweeping through, the enchantment of a quiet snowfall, and the exuberance of sunny springtime—these four concertos encapsulate it all!

Renowned globally for his extraordinary artistry, violinist Vadim Gluzman brings his unparalleled interpretation of these beloved baroque masterpieces to life. Accompanying the performance, the evocative sonnets included in Vivaldi’s original manuscript will be recited, transporting audiences into the vivid natural world that inspired these timeless works. Interwoven between Vivaldi’s concertos, Gluzman will present poignant contemporary solo violin pieces by Ukrainian composer Valentyn Silvestrov, who fled his homeland amidst conflict. This compelling musical dialogue traverses eras, offering a striking contrast and a profound experience of musical time travel.

Performances by Vadim Gluzman in the world’s leading concert halls consistently sell out—hearing him in the intimate setting of The Dairy is a rare and extraordinary opportunity, echoing the intimate ambiance of Vivaldi’s original 18th-century Venetian performances.

“Gluzman… demonstrated his mastery from the start, dominating the platform with his golden tone and command of the long lyrical line. His rich, warm, and generous sound… soared above the orchestra… and he entered into the music’s rough and tumble with virtuoso abandon. Vintage stuff.” -Musical America
