In celebration of the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, Les Arts Florissants, one of the foremost Baroque music ensembles in the world, reframes the iconic work for the 21st century. The 15-person chamber orchestra, which performs on period instruments, intersperses the movements of the beloved Four Seasons with lesser-known works by Monteverdi, Uccelline, and Geminiani in this “performance to be celebrated” (New York Times). Inviting questions about the fleeting, cyclical essence of our existence, relationship with nature, and the eternal renewal of earth’s cycles, this program also features “mesmerizing” (New Yorker) violin star Théotime Langlois de Swarte, “a stunner by any standard” (Strad).
This performance is appropriate for all ages.
Tickets: $60, $51, $36; half-price for youth through Grade 12
Run Time: approximately 90 minutes, plus intermission
