The clock never stands still! A new year is beginning and the Baroque ensemble Camerata 415 Berlin, consisting of orchestral musicians from the Komische Oper Berlin, is taking this as an opportunity to combine old and new, end and beginning, and thus to close the eternal circle. On historical instruments, they present Antonio Vivaldi's four most famous violin concertos: “The Four Seasons” and Karlheinz Stockhausen's zodiac, which musically portrays the twelve zodiac signs — inspired by people from his personal environment. With this unusual yet exciting mix, we are well prepared for what the new year has in store for us.
