Vancouver International Flamenco Festival: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons

The 35th Edition of the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival proudly presents:

Vivaldi and Flamenco meet in Karen Flamenco’s journey through the Four Seasons.

 

Spring colours will swirl with promise of something new. 

Summer holds a fear wrapped in shawls and long ruffled skirts. 

Autumn brings a bounty with percussive canes and clapping. 

Pulsating castanets represent the cold shiver of Winter’s wrath. 

 

The Karen Flamenco Dance Company will take you on a venture in their newest production of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons reinterpreted by composer Max Richter. With live flamenco accompaniment by Gerado Alcala flamenco guitar and Justine Reinhart cantaora. Choreography by Karen Pitkethly, Timo Nunez & Fanny Ara. Audiences will be taken through an emotion of seasons each with their own story to be told.
