Antonio Vivaldi "The Four Seasons" 2027

Participants

Sinfonietta Riga

Conductor Andris Veismanis

At the close of the Early Music Festival, Antonio Vivaldi’s cycle of violin concertos The Four Seasons will once again be performed this year - one of the most popular works in classical music, which has received countless recordings and interpretations around the world. The four violin concertos in the cycle were first published in 1725 in a collection titled The Contest Between Harmony and Invention. And indeed, there is no shortage of either harmony or invention in this music, as Vivaldi has delighted in depicting scenes from nature and everyday life, and even included a verbal key to decipher them in the score. The temperament encoded in the composition and its vivid richness of color unleash the interpreters’ imagination, but brilliant playing technique and lively musicality are also required here.

A visit to the Rundāle Palace garden from 20:00 is included in the price of the concert ticket.

Entry to the Rundāle Palace garden is one hour before the concert.

Entry with umbrellas is prohibited.

An entrance ticket is required for children aged 7 and up.

In case of adverse weather conditions, the organizer is entitled to decide on changes to the concert program.
