Viva Vivaldi! Baroque favorite Antonio Vivaldi takes center stage in a celebration of the 345th anniversary of his birth. The chorus brings “intensity and brilliance” (Chicago Classical Review) to the dramatic Kyrie, fiery Credo, and exhilarating Gloria. The orchestra shows off Vivaldi’s inventive instrumental music with concertos for violins and lute and the compact, yet stunning Sinfonia al Santo Sepolcro (At the Holy Grave).
