Musical Director and conductor of Guardia Nueva since inception, Raimo Vertainen wrote:
– “the project lasted 4 years from the idea in 2018 to hear it in Richters composition in a London West End store;
– the first parts were arranged (by Raimo) in Shenzhen China during Coupe Mondiale while in the hotel;
– the rest of the music was arranged during 2020-2021 years while in Kokkola;

– the idea was to think of a human life of Four Seasons, the whole work presented as: Spring – born, Summer – growing up, adult, Autumn – the shadows of the life comes, Winter – dying, and the last of the winter – reborn and the new life.
– The whole arrangement and the work represented this concept and added to the music was 4 dancers, vocals, animation, pictures, and the lights.
Annika Sillander is a well known choreographer experienced with operas, and musicals. Nada Dumcheva as video artist, works for Alfa TV.”

This concert was the 3rd in the series of Guardia Nueva 20th anniversary concerts restricted to only a small audience because of Covid rules.
