Cobario meets Vivaldi with Ensemble s´INNfonietta

The trio Cobario brings its own creative and highly virtuosic version of Antonio Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" to the stage. In its arrangement for violin and two guitars, the internationally successful ensemble led by the exceptional violinist Herwig Schaffner gives the four world-famous violin concertos a fresh and contemporary sound.

Musically, the three musicians are supported in their performance by the string ensemble sINNfonietta.

Scorching heat, biting cold, whispering winds, and roaring storms: never have natural phenomena been translated into sound as beautifully, sensually, and vividly as in Antonio Vivaldi's "Four Seasons." The Venetian composer compiled four violin concertos under the common title in 1725: each a pinnacle of Baroque mastery, together forming the most famous sonic depiction of nature of all time.

A violin and two guitars are all Cobario needs to shape Vivaldi's art into a sound event that truly brings the Baroque sound to life. Cobario sharpens tones, rhythms, and hearing, teases out unheard details, and gives Vivaldi's exuberant temperament a modern drive. Cobario has arranged the complete cycle of the "Four Seasons" in its own version, enhancing intimate moments while still providing a lush sound experience. It is an approachable yet opulent interpretation, spanning between an intimate club atmosphere and overwhelming concert hall feeling.

In addition to Vivaldi's "Four Seasons," Cobario presents original compositions in orchestral arrangements. The audience can expect a musical fireworks display and finds itself on a sound journey amidst film music.
