Music through the seasons with soloist Leia Zhu

Add to my Calendar 18-11-2022 19:00 18-11-2022 21:00 36 London Mozart Players - When the Seasons Change Weaving in and out of the seasons and discovering the ways it affects the landscapes around us, this concert takes us on an entire trip around the sun in only 90 minutes. Well, they do say that time flies. Narrated by our leader, Simon Blendis, the music in this concert will take us through each seasonal change, from the emerging Norwegian Spring filled with thawing ice, newly green grace and fluttering butterflies in Grieg’s ‘Våren’, the boats gently swaying in the sun-dimmed Bristol Channel in Grace Williams’ ‘Calm Sea in Summer’ to the rhythmic clip-clopping of hooves and a horse-drawn sleigh in the snow in Leroy Andersons’ Sleigh Ride. And of course, we couldn’t do this concert without the ultimate seasoning. Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is the ever-popular portrayal of how the world around us changes throughout the year. Our young artist-in-residence, Leia Zhu, will take the stage as soloist in this concert and we will also be joined by young musicians from CMA (Croydon Music and Arts). Before this concert, local students from Rockmount School will participate in an art workshop and their artwork will be displayed around the church. St John the Evangelist Church, London DD/MM/YYYY
