Join us for an extraordinary musical dialogue between two visionary composers – Antonio Vivaldi and Max Richter – performed by Horizons Ensemble in one of Bern’s most historic and atmospheric venues.

This programme offers a fresh perspective on the iconic cycle The Four Seasons. Instead of presenting a single unified version, the concert takes you on a journey through the seasons, alternating between Vivaldi’s vivid baroque original and Richter’s contemporary reimagining. Each movement becomes a conversation across centuries – between tradition and innovation, between the handwritten and the cinematic.

Max Richter, one of today’s most acclaimed composers, gained worldwide recognition with Recomposed: Vivaldi – The Four Seasons, a project that blends classical strings with ambient minimalism. Since its release in 2012, the album has topped charts and become a modern classic in its own right.
