Meesters op de gitaar: Stephanie Jones speelt Piazzolla's De vier jaargetijden

Stephanie Jones

Stephanie Jones started on the piano, then the violin, the viola, the saxophone, and the flute. But it was the versatility of the guitar that ultimately appealed most to this Australian virtuoso, giving her possibilities in diverse styles. Jones not only has fans who attend her concerts, but she also has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. Her YouTube channel is one of the largest in the classical music world; she even received a Silver Play Button Award for it. Tonight she makes her debut in the Kleine Zaal with The Four Seasons according to Astor Piazzolla.

Piazzolla's The Four Seasons

Nadia Boulanger, Astor Piazzolla's teacher in Paris, encouraged him to remain true to his tango roots. Rarely has advice had such profound consequences: Piazzolla became tango; the dance and his name became one. And when this very composer draws inspiration from Vivaldi's masterpiece, The Four Seasons, an irresistible symbiosis emerges. Piazzolla is a guide through the seasons, with everything characteristic of tango: rhythm, improvisation, and emotion. This music encircles the year with compelling passion.
