“..de Swarte’s solo playing …steals the show: pliant, expressive, wild and virtuosic.” (BBC Music Magazine) Violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte leads the acclaimed French Baroque ensemble Les Arts Florissants in an exhilarating concert celebrating the 300th anniversary of Antonio Vivaldi’s Le Quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons). Their partnership is creating a sensation this year, gathering kudos for dramatic, revelatory interpretations of Vivaldi’s now-classic concertos, paired with striking companion pieces by his predecessors: Monteverdi, Uccellini and Geminiani. This will be a not-to-be-missed performance of The Four Seasons as you have never heard them—inventive and daring, a rich tapestry of colors and textures. Expect dazzling artistry and impeccable technique from this starry group of longtime colleagues, an ensemble setting standards for period instrument performance since its founding by William Christie in 1979.
