Simplicity and beauty are on display with Max Richter’s Four Seasons reshuffled and remixed for 2021. Britten’s Simple Symphony is a child’s imagination and recreation of the fun and ingenuity that a symphony can become. Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s Pisachi brings to the life the dances of Pueblo and Hopi cultures.
Conductor Devin Patrick Hughes and the musicians, staff, and board of Boulder Symphony are excited to bring together the seasons of life, dance, and music for a diverse array of programming that will bring joy and reflection to our audience.
The Four Seasons Recomposed by Max Richter, is a deconstructing and remix-ing of the traditional Vivaldi. The original score gets opened up note-by-note. The addition of the harp and piano to the original score, and the added colors and textures that Richter imbues create a new breath and depth to bring the score into the ears of the contemporary listener. Still highlighted are the bitter cold, and intense heat of Vivaldi’s masterwork.
Violinist Charles Wetherbee returns to Boulder Symphony bringing a wealth of experience and expertise from his varied career as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestral concertmaster and teacher. Performing the Seasons Recomposed will accentuate and highlight Wetherbee’s consummate skill as a versatile artist across the spectrum.
