A celebration of Vivaldi’s most energetic and amorous concertos, starring Tafelmusik’s own musicians.
Tafelmusik’s long association with Antonio Vivaldi has entered a new phase with the arrival of Music Director Elisa Citterio. In this celebration of the composer’s unmatched vivacity and inventiveness, Tafelmusik, in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, present a colourful bouquet of Vivaldi concertos.
After her electric performances of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons last year, Elisa takes the solo role in his love-themed concertos “L’amoroso” and “L’amato bene”, which will be featured on the 2019 release of a major new recording of this music, her first with the Orchestra. Tafelmusik’s remarkable musicians are the soloists in the vibrant concertos that complete the program.
This concert is a celebration of Vivaldi’s unmatched vivacity and inventiveness. All of the soloists performing are drawn from the Tafelmusik orchestra (violins, oboes, lute, and bassoon). This program will be featured on Music Director Elisa Citterio’s first recording with the orchestra, to be released in March 2019.
Tafelmusik is pleased to offer a 10% discount to our Italian community friends for Vivaldi con amore October 10-14, 2018 at Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre. Click here to buy the tickets with the promo code.
