This program is especially meaningful to me, and I’m excited to share it with you. I’ll be performing Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons alongside Astor Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires with a string quintet of members of the Allentown Symphony Orchestra.

One of the highlights of this event is our collaboration with the students of El Sistema Lehigh Valley. Inspired by the music, the students have created artwork reflecting their own interpretations of the seasons through paintings and collages. Their work will be displayed throughout the performance, creating a creative event between music and visual art.

Admission is FREE and we would love to welcome as many members of the Allentown Symphony family as possible. If you’re able, I would also greatly appreciate your help in sharing this event with your own networks and community groups to help us reach an even broader audience.

Thank you for your continued support of our Community Engagement initiatives. I hope you’ll be able to join us for what promises to be a memorable morning of music, art, and community.

Warmly,
Jorge Vera
Musician in Residence
Allentown Symphony Orchestra
