Sunrise

Welcome the longest day of the year with a luminous sunrise performance. Metropolis Ensemble presents an uplifting string performance of Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons featuring violinist Francisco Fullana—a stunning reimagining of Vivaldi’s response to the natural world.

Sunset

Settle in to sunset with Metropolis Ensemble presenting a moodier, electronic take on Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons for string orchestra and solo violin, featuring violinist Francisco Fullana paired with composer and multi-instrumentalist Emily Wells, who fuses voice, violin, and electronics into something raw and urgent. Three centuries, three artists—Vivaldi, Richter, Wells—each turning toward nature: fragile, cyclical, powerfully alive.
