'A Season to Sing' is a choral re-imagining by British composer Joanna Forbes L’Estrange of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, to mark its 300th anniversary in 2025.
Arranged for mixed voices and organ, ‘A Season to Sing’ weaves into Vivaldi’s much-loved melodies texts from poetry and the Bible on the subject of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The 40-minute work also includes a new setting by Forbes L’Estrange of Ecclesiastes 3.2 – To everything there is a season.
The programme also features other choral music by Joanna Forbes L'Estrange, including ‘Sing for the King’, her Coronation anthem written for the RSCM, together with pieces by Alexander L'Estrange, and Sir John Rutter. There will be one interval of approx. 20 minutes.
