Violinist Thomas Mathias takes the stage as the soloist in Astor Piazzolla’s (famed Argentinian master of the tango) reimagining of Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. But before we hear The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, we take a trip to Spain with Joaquin Turina’s second piano trio.
Ralph Vaughan Williams also features on this program, as his song cycle The House of Life is presented by soprano (and Laramie native) Kathryn Harding, and pianist Alexei Aceto; they will also premier a new piece by our artistic director, Ross McIntosh.
