GVOC undertakes a program inspired by the four elements and the four seasons that is not your ordinary nature-themed concert.  Yes there will be a bit of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, but the rest of the repertoire will dive more deeply into our shared connection to nature.  The music is about the cycle of our lives and will be a tribute to the world that is bigger than ourselves.  The power of nature and the movements of our cosmos connect us as humans -- they even sustain our lives.  This theme is celebrated in choral works by living, classical composers such as Ola Gjeilo, Jonathan Dove, and Patrick Hawes.  In orchestral music, Rochester will be treated to Piazzola's tango-inspired versions of the four seasons, as well as to a unique work from Baroque France.  Jean-Fery Rebel's "Les Elements" celebrates natures with a daring depiction of Chaos before the Creation; it is an old work that is rarely performed and sounds like it could have been composed in our current century.
