This coming together of Eastern and Western musical traditions honours Vivaldi’s classic while giving it new life. A must-see for music lovers and cinephiles alike. 

The Australian Chamber Orchestra has always forged its own path and refused to be constrained by genre or artform. With Artistic Director and violinist Richard Tognetti at the helm, the ACO has been producing films for over a decade, from their award-winning collaborations with BAFTA-nominated director Jennifer Peedom (Mountain, River) to their acclaimed series of music films, ACO StudioCasts, which were developed in partnership with director Matisse Ruby to create a truly cinematic orchestral experience. The Four Seasons, also directed by Ruby and with cinematography by Jeremy Rouse (Blaze) is the latest film release from this ground-breaking ensemble. 

The Four Seasons is arguably the most popular and recognisable piece of classical music ever written. This performance, directed by Richard Tognetti, highlights the profound symbiosis between Vivaldi’s Venice and the Middle East, interspersing Vivaldi’s masterpiece with music by Australian-Egyptian composer and oud virtuoso Joseph Tawadros.
