Antonio Vivaldi “The Four Seasons”

ParticipantsLeticia Moreno, violin (Spain) Sinfonietta Rīga Conductor Andris Veismanis

Once again this year, the Early Music Festival will culminate with Antonio Vivaldi’s violin concerto cycle “The Seasons” (Le quattro stagioni) – one of the most popular opuses of classical music, which has been performed and interpreted countless times worldwide. The four violin concertos comprising the cycle were first published in 1725 in a collection titled “The Contest Between Harmony and Invention” (Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione). And indeed, there is no lack of harmony or invention in this music, for Vivaldi took great pleasure in depicting scenes from nature and everyday life, and in writing verbal transcriptions of them in the score.

A visit to the Rundāle Palace Garden is included in the concert ticket price. Entrance to the Rundāle Palace Garden one hour before the concert. Entrance with umbrellas is prohibited. An entrance ticket is required for children aged 7 and over. InformācijaEvent:2 daļasDuration:2h
