The Rolling Year: Listening to the Seasons with Vivaldi

A talk by BBC Radio 3’s Breakfast presenter, Dr Hannah French

The Studio, Theatr Brycheiniog TBC

Sunday 19 October at 10.00am

We are delighted to welcome Dr Hannah French to Brecon to discuss her book, The Rolling Year: Listening to the Seasons with Vivaldi.

It’s over 300 years since Vivaldi wrote his evergreen work, ‘The Four Seasons’, one of the earliest and most successful examples of programme music - instrumental music designed to tell a story or paint a picture. Musicologist Dr Hannah French embraces the art of listening seasonally in her exploration of this classic work which continues to reveal new truths to its listeners.

The event will be followed by a book singing and the opportunity to buy the new paperback edition.

Duration: 1 hour

Tickets: £15
