Vivaldi 4 Seasons - The crossover concert

The fusion of classical music with swing, jazz, latin and folk music is an exciting attempt to modernise one of the Baroque's greatest works.

The Swing à la Django Orchestra's latest exciting crossover concert is a reworking of the most popular work by the famous Italian composer and violinist Antonio Vivaldi.

Everyone knows the Four Seasons violin concerto series, but you've never heard it in this form. The complete score has been reworked. Moving from movement to movement, the listener is invited on a journey through several musical styles. The musicians transform familiar melodies into exciting swing, jazz, Latin and folk sounds and rhythms, and the concert is interwoven with Italian, French, Hungarian, Spanish, American melodies and virtuoso improvisations. The aim of the experiment is to bring Baroque music closer to the people of today, to make the genius of the past accessible to the people of today!

Swing à la Django - the virtuosity of Swing

Swing à la Django is one of Hungary's best-known and most innovative pop-swing bands. They have created a unique blend of styles, harmonising pop music with Hungarian authentic folklore music, French manouche swing and Argentine bossa nova. The result of this mix of styles is a unique style they call "Hungarian Django Swing". The band's hits have conquered the playlists of major radio stations and reached millions of views on online video platforms in the last two years. In the spring of 2022, they played a sold-out concert at the Budapest Papp László Arena as the official band of Margit Bangó.
