Les Arts Florissants & Théotime Langlois Vivaldi's Four Seasons at 300

The Baroque music supergroup Les Arts Florissants, a best-in-class ensemble of period musicians, are joined by the extraordinary violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte for a program that presents this iconic music in a new light and commemorates its original publication. The masterpieces are set alongside music Vivaldi would have known in Venice and compositions that were in turn inspired by his bold vision, including additional works by Vivaldi, Monteverdi, and Uccellini. The music invites questions about the fleeting, cyclical nature of our existence, our relationship with nature, and the health of our planet.
