Experience Vivaldi’s greatest music brought to life by world-class musicians in world-famous candlelit cathedrals

The programme showcases some of the most iconic works ever written for strings. We open with Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik, originally written as light outdoor evening entertainment for Vienna’s great and good, in a world where social occasions called for music that was both refined and instantly engaging. This is followed by Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor — a work of yearning and melancholy, shot through with moments of technical brilliance that let the violinist soar.

The second half is devoted to Vivaldi, beginning with his fiery La Follia, based on one of Europe’s oldest musical themes, reimagined over centuries by countless composers. Vivaldi transforms this simple ground bass into a dazzling sequence of variations, brimming with invention and virtuosity.

The evening culminates in one of the greatest masterpieces of all time — The Four Seasons. From the freshness of spring to the icy bite of winter, Vivaldi’s vivid depictions of nature remain as captivating today as they were 300 years ago.
