Ray Chen returns with the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra performing Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Piazolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires to create 8 Seasons.

Ray Chen returns to the Sydney Opera House with the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra for a captivating meeting of two musical worlds.

Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons brings birdsong, summer storms, winter chill and the exhilaration of spring vividly to life. Two centuries later, Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires transforms the seasons through the passionate rhythms and restless pulse of tango.

Bringing these two celebrated works together, Ray Chen leads the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra in a musical journey spanning centuries and continents. Experience the virtuosity and energy of one of today’s leading violinists alongside the finesse of the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, as Vivaldi and Piazzolla’s contrasting visions of the seasons come together in one unforgettable concert.
