Vivaldi’s Winter from The Four Seasons is likely the most famous wintery expression of the snowy season. However, it is not the only choice. Both Wolfgang Mozart and his father Leopold composed sleigh-ride inspired music. Tchaikovsky brought winter to musical life both in The Nutcracker and in his first symphony. There are also classical songs on the subject: boisterous songs of ale and others on more shivery themes. Vivaldi and so much more: join us for classical pleasures of winter!
