The baroque chamber orchestra from France, Les Arts Florissants, led from the violin by Theotime Langlois de Swarte, are touring the world celebrating the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. De Swarte joined the ensemble while still a teenager in 2014 before his rise to fame as a baroque and modern violinist and conductor. Somehow, we will get 17 musicians and a harpsichord on our stage for a serious baroque celebration.

Don’t miss a blockbuster musical event as one of Early Music’s definitive ensembles, Les Arts Florissants, are joined by the invigorating violin virtuoso Théotime Langlois de Swarte—hailed by Gramophone for his “seemingly effortless blend of control and abandon.” These incomparable instrumentalists commemorate the original publication of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons in 1725. Experience this iconic masterwork anew as Vivaldi’s beloved concertos are presented alongside Venetian music that inspired the great composer—or was inspired by him—with selections by Monteverdi, Uccellini, Geminiani, and Corelli.

Les Arts Florissants is a best-in-class ensemble of period musicians, and their performances are must-hear events for fans of early music (and anyone curious about it!). In what promises to be a highly in-demand matinee in Carnegie Hall’s most intimate venue, this concert celebrates 300 years since the publishing of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, one of the most popular musical creations of all time. Under the leadership of extraordinary violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte, they perform the complete masterpiece and additional works by Vivaldi, Monteverdi, and Uccellini.
