Four Seasons & The Lark Ascending by Candlelight – Cadogan Hall

About the show

Experience the beauty and drama of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, performed by candlelight by the acclaimed chamber ensemble London Concertante. From the icy winds of winter to the gentle bloom of spring, this iconic work remains one of the most evocative pieces of classical music ever written.

Bruch’s deeply expressive Kol Nidrei is built on two traditional Hebrew melodies. Written in 1880 for the Jewish community in Liverpool – where Bruch served as Principal Conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra – the piece showcases the cello’s most lyrical, song-like qualities, creating a moment of quiet intensity and reflection within the programme.
Alongside it, enjoy Vaughan Williams’ soaring masterpiece The Lark Ascending– a meditative, pastoral work that captures the stillness and poetry of the English landscape.

A deeply atmospheric and memorable evening of music this spring.
