Summer according to Sejong and Piazzolla

A string orchestra rarely sounds and looks this good, but the New York-based Sejong (formerly International Sejong Soloists), formed in 1995, has it all.

Check out this beautifully shot and edited video of the group playing Piazzolla's electrifying The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (Summer). If you are in southern Ontario this week and trying to beat the heat wave, this music will no doubt cool you down. If you are in Korea later this month, try catching Sejong at the Great Mountains International Music Festival in the Gangwon province between July 26 and Aug. 9.
