Pioneering a revival of Baroque repertoire long neglected, internationally renowned early music ensemble Les Arts Florissants takes the stage with one of today’s most sought-after young early music stars, violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte, to perform Vivaldi’s masterpiece, Four Seasons.
When published in 1725, no one imagined these works would become, perhaps, the most frequently heard music of all time. Prefacing them with foundational pieces by Geminiani and Monteverdi, the program frames these iconic works in a new light, inviting questions about the fleeting, cyclical nature of our existence; our relationship with the natural world; and the eternal renewal of Earth’s cycles.
This performance will last approximately 100 minutes, including one intermission.
