The Four Seasons

The four seasons is one of the most iconic works in classical music.
These solo concerts are part of Vivaldis opus 8: the collection Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, which was published in the year 1725. Together with the concerts themselves, sonnets describing the different seasons were printed. The sonnets will also be heard at the concert, along with descriptions of happenings that Vivaldi expresses in the music.

Antonio Vivaldi (1678−1741) was a center of power in the European musical life of his time. He wrote a lot of music - 500 solo concerts in total. His music struck a chord with both high and low in society, helped by Vivaldi's colorful personality and his skill as a violinist.
