Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2013, Orpheus has built a legacy with its acclaimed recordings, performances, and collaborations with the world’s most esteemed and dynamic soloists. Following their triumphant collaboration in Japan, Ryu Goto and the celebrated strings of Orpheus reprise their critically acclaimed performance of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for American audiences. Widely considered to be one of the greatest masterworks in all of Western art, these Concertos stand as some of the boldest program music of the entire Baroque era. Rounding out the concert will be Bach’s ever-popular Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 and Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings.
