The current combination of the El Niño and global warming phenomena serves as the inspiration for Five Seasons – the latest crossover music production by the Charl du Plessis Trio. Just like the inevitable rise in temperature, audiences will certainly feel the heat in a new, intriguing approach to Antonio Vivaldi’s famous Four Seasons. Drummer Peter Auret brings his magic with sophisticated and rhythmic nuances in every movement, while bassist Werner Spies showcases his elegant musicianship in toe-tapping walking bass lines. The virtuosity and refined improvisations of Steinway Artist Charl du Plessis reveal his clever reimagining of these works from the Baroque period. The Vivaldi will be performed complete with some jazz standards as a last musical bon-bon – all related to the seasons. The Charl du Plessis Trio has released nine albums, four of which were awarded with a South African Music Award.
