Get ready for a fresh take on Vivaldi's beloved Four Seasons! The Appalachian Chamber Music Festival presents the Four Seasons reimagined at the historic St. John the Evangelist Church in Frederick, Maryland.

Poetry readings will be interwoven throughout the performance, adding another layer of depth to the exploration of the seasonal cycle.
