International Tour: The Four Seasons, USA

The Australian Chamber Orchestra returns to the United States with a seven-concert tour of The Ottoman Four Seasons.

11 - 22 October 2024

The Australian Chamber Orchestra returns to the United States with a seven-concert tour, presenting an innovative exploration of Vivaldi’s masterpiece, The Four Seasons, heard through the lens of the Ottoman Empire.

One of our most loved programs, the Four Seasons explores the Venice of Vivaldi’s world, which was one of the great cosmopolitan centers of its time, absorbing influences from the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond.

In The Ottoman Four Seasons, the ACO performs Vivaldi’s work in its entirety and its glory, joined by oud virtuoso Joseph Tawadros and riq master James Tawadros, who add irresistible rhythms and thrilling colour through original compositions in this dynamic multimedia event. We're thrilled to be bringing it to the US.
