The Seasons of Vivaldi and Piazzola 2024-2025
Vivaldi’s Baroque-era panache and Piazzolla’s Argentinian tango join in a dialogue that spans the seasons, under the direction of violinist and conductor Rosanne Philippens.
Venice and Buenos Aires: together, Vivaldi’s Baroque-era panache and Piazzolla’s Argentinian tango join in a dialogue that spans the seasons. Vivaldi ingeniously showcased the orchestra’s array of sounds with his vividly descriptive music, while Piazzolla offers his reflections on the four seasons of life in Argentina, with nods here and there to his Venetian precursor.

A strong believer in breaking down barriers in classical music, she is the founder of The Amsterdam Salon, which presents high-quality concerts in Amsterdam in carefully chosen and unusual locations, in an intimate salon atmosphere. Rosanne Philippens began her studies at an early age at the Amstelveen Music School. She pursued training at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and Hanns Eisler Academy in Berlin.
