meetMusic: The Twiolins | Eight Seasons
in the Parish Church of St. Agatha
What do Vivaldi and Piazzolla have in common? How do the "Four Seasons" react when they are combined with tangos and interspersed in equal measure? The celebrated violin duo The Twiolins with siblings Marie-Luise and Christoph Dingler have taken on these questions and created their very own new "Eight Seasons".
Spring is all about angels, they die and rise again, summer experiences melancholy and mysticism, in autumn the hunting horns are stopped by a hora zero and in winter you want to tango, back to the south.
It was an adventure that the Twiolins embarked on with the arrangement of the "Four Seasons" and Piazolla's tangos, but days and nights over the notes unleashed unprecedented creativity. Both Vivaldi and Piazzolla have undergone a transformation and prove new aspects in this chamber music version that these great works have not shown before. This project takes the listener on a musical adventure through two centuries and hemispheres, eliminating the boundaries between continents, musical borders and traditions without compromising their essence.
Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" juxtaposed with eleven contrasting tangos by Astor Piazzolla - with the Twiolins' "Eight Seasons", the audience is invited to enjoy Vivaldi's virtuoso piece and let themselves be seized by Argentinean longing and passion. To bring in the sound of Buenos Aires with heat, dance and melancholy, Christoph brought the viola into the Twiolins line-up, with its own depth and weight.
Marie-Luise and Christoph began playing the violin at the age of seven. Just four years later they took part for the first time in the national competition Jugend musiziert and achieved first place six times in the following years. The siblings, who have won many prizes, have performed in New Zealand, China, India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Tunisia, Spain, Italy, France, Lithuania, Austria and Switzerland as well as at national and international festivals and concert series (including Mozartfest Würzburg, Rudolf-Oetker-Halle, Klassiksommer Hamm, Hohenloher Kultursommer, Weilburger Schlosskonzerte).
