The Four Seasons


A man with dark hair, a dark short beard, and glasses, is standing against a multicolor gradient-lit background, holding his cello and bow. He is wearing a black shirt and black pants. He is smiling off to the side of the camera.

THE FOUR SEASONS

OCT 30 – NOV 2, 2025

Evan Kahn, Principal Cello

Enter a world where emotion awakens with the light of day and deepens with every note. The quiet power of daybreak emerges in Dobrinka Tabakova’s luminous soundscape, Dawn, giving way to the Bohemian lyricism and heartfelt warmth of Dvořák’s Serenade for Strings, which weaves a lush, passionate tapestry of sound. The journey culminates in one of music’s most iconic treasures—Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons—where the vibrant forces of nature are unleashed with dazzling virtuosity. Step into a concert where time dances, races, and soars—and let every note pull you in.
