³Ô¹ÏÍø Chamber Orchestra: Overgrown Paths

³Ô¹ÏÍø Chamber Orchestra's Artistic Director and violinist Sophie Rowell leads a luminous fusion of music and poetry that culminates in The Four Seasons â€“ voiced with Vivaldiâ€™s original sonnets by acclaimed actress and narrator, Helen Morse.

The concert opens with the ebullience of Hugo Wolfâ€™s Italian Serenade, followed by Libby Croadâ€™s Portraits for string orchestra, each movement paired with evocative poetry by Eleanor Percy.

JanÃ¡Äekâ€™s tender On an Overgrown Path invites a quiet turn inward, rounding out a program of lyricism, storytelling, and emotional resonance.
