And here's the formal notice, as copied from the HBR site:

Aaron Redner, Hot Buttered Rum's fiddler and song-writer extraordinaire, will step out of that role on October 23rd to host at Mill Valley's beautiful 142 Throckmorton Theatre a very special evening of classical, swing, jazz, and bluegrass music. The acoustic show will revolve around Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons masterpiece, played by a string quartet joined by Redner on violin. Between each individual concerto, Redner and company will play complementary music from other genres, with each piece related to the preceding "season." This unique format promises a diverse evening of music that will contemporize and reinterpret Vivaldi's work by sandwiching it between and contrasting it against more modern pieces.

Redner will be joined by a stellar cast of local musicians, including members of Hot Buttered Rum. The instrumentation promises to be as varied as the music and players, with harpsichord and guitar played in addition to the string quartet.

An interview with Redner about this special event is available on this site's interview section.
