Orchestra Lumos, East Coast Contemporary Ballet, and Stamford Downtown Present The Four Seasons, a FREE Live Music and Dance Performance

STAMFORD, CT (July 27, 2026) — An immersive, golden hour experience is coming to downtown Stamford on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at 7:00pm in Veterans Park (130 Atlantic Street). In collaboration with Stamford Downtown and East Coast Contemporary Ballet, (ECCB) Orchestra Lumos will present The Four Seasons – a production that combines contemporary dance choreography with music inspired by Vivaldi’s classic composition as reimagined by four modern composers, performed live by a string quintet of musicians from Orchestra Lumos. The work was choreographed by ECCB founders Claire Mazza and Alejandro Ulloa and premiered at their 2026 gala.

This free, enchanting open-air event will transform Veterans Park into a vibrant outdoor stage where audiences can enjoy an unforgettable summer evening of live music, contemporary dance, and community as the sun sets. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, and guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or outdoor seats. Local restaurants will offer light bites and the Wine Room will offer a tasting.

“Orchestra Lumos is proud to partner with East Coast Contemporary Ballet and Stamford Downtown to provide this one-of-a-kind free cultural experience, bringing live music and dance into the heart of the community and creating an opportunity for audiences of all ages to connect with the arts,” said Walker Beard, Susanah and Naeem Fayyaz President and CEO of Orchestra Lumos. “We believe live music can be experienced by everyone, everywhere. Through Orchestra Lumos’ Small Space Concerts and community performances, we have seen firsthand how magical it is when audiences and artists unite in unexpected settings.”
