$Les Arts Florissants - Vivaldi\u2019s Four Seasons at 300 Th\u00e9otime Langlois de Swarte, violin$

For their Mondavi Center debut, Baroque superstars Les Arts Florissants are joined by fast-rising violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte in “Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at 300” commemorating the work’s original publication in 1725.
The program frames these iconic masterpieces afresh, setting them alongside music Vivaldi would have known in Venice and compositions that were, in turn, inspired by his bold vision. The Ensemble — which takes its name from a short opera by Marc-Antoine Charpentier — has played a pioneering role in the revival of a repertoire that had largely been forgotten and continues this tradition under the visionary leadership of their two artistic directors, William Christie and Paul Agnew.
