Candlelight: Featuring Vivaldi's Four Seasons & More

City Opera House

Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" are his most famous works and continue to inspire audiences today with their wonderfully vivid depiction of bird calls and dances, heat storms and bitter cold. The four violin concertos are part of a cycle in which Vivaldi published twelve works at once. Two more of them are set against the seasons at the end of the Baroque series. "Il Piacere" ("Joy") is a cheerful, feel-good concert, "La tempesta di mare" ("The Sea Storm") takes you out to sea, where whipping winds stir up the ocean and the waves rage. The FKO is in charge of the program itself: Concertmaster Ezgi Su Apaydin leads the ensemble from the podium in Baroque style and also plays the solos in the violin concertos. True joy of playing - young, wildly electrifying - an experience!

Vivaldi was called the red priest because he was red-haired and priestly. You couldn't necessarily see that with the hair, because wigs were state-of-the-art in his time - and the priest's wedding was so-so, as he never came across as such. Instead, he came to manage a home for lost children in Venice, where young girls received a musical education. A large part of the many concerts he composed; over 400 and for many different instruments, are composed for these young musicians.

The season of seasons closes by honoring the themes of light, love, and rebirth through acclaimed works by Pergolesi, Scarlatti, Bach, and Vivaldi. In Vivaldi’s “Summer,” the cuckoo, dove, and goldfinch sing in the blazing sun before the winds begin to blow. Following an homage to Scarlatti, including his Salve Regina in G Minor, we conclude with a work that he inspired; Pergolessi’s final masterpiece, Stabat Mater.

If there’s anyone who embodies the liveliness and ebullient joy of 18th-century music, it’s Nicholas McGegan, “one of the finest baroque conductors of his generation” (London Independent). Having conducted The Four Seasons countless times, McGegan says it never fails to captivate listeners with its familiar scenes set to ear-catching melodies: “It’s great to hear [Vivaldi] imitate bird songs or rivers or fountains or the summer bugs—they’re still with us—and the stomping of feet and skating are things that people still do. He had a wonderful way of turning these things into music, and memorable music at that.”

The Chaconne from Mozart’s Idomeneo and Haydn’s “Surprise” Symphony show these composers at the top of their games. Clever and sophisticated, humorous and bright, the Chaconne breaks the rules of ballet, and the symphony makes a bang you won’t forget.

Originally conceived for the formation of a cello quintet, the voicing is often spread wide over the ensemble, giving the music an expansive quality of sound. Within Strum I utilized texture motives, layers of rhythmic or harmonic ostinati that string together to form a bed of sound for melodies to weave in and out. The strumming pizzicato serves as a texture motive and the primary driving rhythmic underpinning of the piece. Drawing on American folk idioms and the spirit of dance and movement, the piece has a kind of narrative that begins with fleeting nostalgia and transforms into ecstatic celebration.— Jessie Montgomery

Antonio Vivaldi is best known for his iconic The Four Seasons, but his work extends far beyond this famous collection of seasonal compositions. Although a violin player by trade, Vivaldi was adept at writing for all instruments and musical genres. His style evolved over his life, with his late works adopting aspects of not only the galant—the truly hip style of the day—but also a good dose of the fantastic and the bizarre. Featuring Colburn Conservatory talent in a breathtaking display of virtuosity, this program explores the non-seasoned sides of the Venetian master.

No composer has ever captured the typical scenery of the seasons in music more inventively than Antonio Vivaldi in 1725 with his cycle "Le quattro stagioni", consisting of four violin concertos: from the soundscape of nature, the birdsong and the rumble of thunder, to seasonal pleasures such as ice skating or wine festivals, to the extreme temperatures of summer and winter, whose effect on people Vivaldi describes in drastic sounds.

A Collaborative Concert

University of Saint Joseph

Featuring Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks and Antonio Vivaldi’s celestial Gloria, Visionaries delves into the timeless themes of human expression and divine exploration. The groundbreaking multimedia concert brings da Vinci’s words and drawings to life with state-of-the-art video syncing technology, harmonized with the live voices of the Toronto Mendelssohn Singers in The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci. Both pieces beautifully reflect the profound complexity and beauty of life.

There’s something for the Romantic fans, too; Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings appeals to the hopeless romantic in all of us, oozing with luscious string melodies and beautiful harmonies. Even the composer himself said he was ‘passionately in love’ with the piece.

Vivaldi: Four Seasons

Guildford International Concert Series: Vivaldi – Four Seasons

The music scene in 18th century Britain was a place where everything was up for grabs. A nation was remaking its identity – embracing global fashions and diverse cultures, and locked in passionate debate about its relationship with Europe. English composers wrote Italian operas, the spirit of Shakespeare met the inspiration of Corelli and Vivaldi, and Bach’s youngest son carved out a musical niche that was entirely his own.

Baroque violinist Rachell Ellen Wong, Grand Prize winner of the inaugural J.S. Bach Competition, returns to the MSO to lead one of the most iconic treasures in all of the Baroque repertoire: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. Vivaldi provided vivid poems to accompany each of these seasonal concertos — in spring, “the goatherd sleeps next to his trusty dog” as birds sing; summer features goldfinches, pines, and a gathering storm; peasants dance and drink in autumn, before a grand hunt begins; and finally winter turns from icy winds to the contentment of resting fireside.

Only ten years separate the two main works at this concert, and yet Ottorino Respighi and Igor Stravinsky are truly worlds apart. The orchestral suite »Trittico botticelliano« was inspired by the paintings of the Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. Respighi breathes life into the picturesque scenes through his impressionistic colouring. With its gentle elegance, the suite is one of the composer’s most lyrical works. Stravinsky’s concerto »Dumbarton Oaks«, on the other hand, is influenced by Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. In three movements, its clear structure and contrapuntal density combined with rhythmic energy conspire to create one of the composer’s most striking works for chamber orchestra.
