Step into Vivaldi’s Venice, one of history’s most dynamic ports of call, where European and Arab influences intersected to shape a rich musical landscape. This program offers a vivid snapshot of that world through a wide-ranging selection of sinfonias and concertos, revealing the scope and imagination of Venetian Baroque music.Many of LACO’s own virtuosi take the spotlight in a series of mixed and double concertos, led from the keyboard by Francesco Corti. Highlights include Vivaldi’s rarely heard reconstructed Organ and Violin Concerto with Assistant Concertmaster Tereza Stanislav, and the striking “Grosso Mughal,” likely connected to his opera Argippo, featuring Concertmaster Margaret Batjer.
Violist Rachel Barton Pine joins for two Viola d’amore concertos, bringing the instrument’s resonant, sympathetic strings, a sound world shared with Indian classical traditions, into focus. Works by Albinoni and Galuppi round out the program, tracing the sound of Venice across the golden age of Venetian Baroque music.
