Recently appointed Music Director Jader Bignamini leads two works inspired by Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Piazzolla’s tango-infused Four Seasons of Buenos Aires features newly appointed DSO Concertmaster Robyn Bollinger, and Michael Abels, known for scores to Oscar-winning films like Jordan Peele’s Get Out and Us, puts “Vivaldi in a Mixmaster.” We then reap the ingenious rewards of Mozart’s brilliant and beloved last symphony, “Jupiter,” hailed by many as one of the Top Ten symphonies of all time.
