Join Oklahoma Chamber Symphony for an evening exploring changes in nature through time. Our concertmaster, Dr. Elaine Bastos will perform Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Astor Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, a tango twist on Vivaldi’s music.

What’s Special About This Concert:

• OCS Concertmaster, Dr. Elaine Bastos, will showcase two imaginations of the seasons. The first, by Vivaldi, was one of the first pieces to incorporate extra musical elements - poems to tell the story, bird calls and dog barks on string instruments, chattering teeth in snow, a thunderstorm, and more!

• The second, by Piazzolla, is an homage of Vivaldi’s Italian story as a collection of Argentinian tangos.

• The first of a three piece cycle of nature, life, and love, Dvorak’s overture introduces his musical theme of life that would later appear in the rest of the cycle.
