Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons,” The Classical Earworm

Even if you didn’t know it, you’ve heard Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” in movies, commercials and even on The Simpsons.

Come experience one of the most recognizable works of classical music at the National Cathedral.

But just because “The Four Seasons” is familiar doesn’t mean it won’t dazzle you. With these four violin concertos, you can feel the beauty of a year in full. Close your eyes and visualize a summer storm, a cooling autumn breeze, the feel of a flake of snow landing on your nose and the murmuring streams of spring.

The September 28 performance introduces the Cathedral’s newest artist-in-residence, Elicia Silverstein, and also features Vivaldi’s “Gloria” and Berio’s “Corale”. As summer leads to fall, allow Vivaldi’s accessible concertos to transport you through a year in one evening.

It’s the perfect way to experience the crisp magic of autumn, and you’ll finally be able to identify that catchy classical tune that sets the tone for so many powerful pop culture moment.

Tickets available here.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
