Vivaldi: The Four Seasons

Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague with Matteo Hager (violin)

Part of the Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague 2026 Series

Add to my Calendar 17-10-2026 19:30 17-10-2026 21:30 36 Vivaldi: The Four Seasons The Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague brings Vivaldi's The Four Seasons to All Saints Church, Hove as part of its autumn 2026 tour of the United Kingdom, performed live by a chamber ensemble drawn from the orchestra's principal players, with the young Czech violinist Matteo Hager as soloist. All Saints Church on The Drive is Hove's cathedral-scale parish church, a soaring Gothic Revival building by John Loughborough Pearson with a resonant acoustic that has made it one of the best-loved concert venues in Brighton and Hove. It is a few minutes' walk from Hove station and the seafront, with buses along Church Road and Cromwell Road. At the heart of the evening are Vivaldi's four violin concertos – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter – the most popular set of pieces in the whole Baroque repertoire, published in Venice around 1725 with four sonnets describing birdsong, summer storms, harvest celebrations and icy winter winds. They are framed by four other favourites of the string repertoire: Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik, Bach's Air on the G String, Pachelbel's Canon in D and a suite from Handel's Water Music, which brings the concert to a festive close. The Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague (BSOP) is a professional orchestra from the Czech capital, home to a string tradition that runs from Dvořák and Smetana to the present day. Alongside its full symphonic concerts, the orchestra tours internationally with chamber programmes, bringing the warmth of the Czech string sound to churches, cathedrals and concert halls across Europe. Soloist Matteo Hager is a young Czech violinist currently studying in London, whose performances of The Four Seasons combine virtuoso brilliance in the fast movements with a singing, expressive tone in the slow ones. Running time approximately 90 minutes including interval. All Saints Church, Brighton and Hove DD/MM/YYYY
