The Four Seasons
From Winter to Spring
James Riccardo, Violin
The Four Seasons is one of the world's most well-known and loved pieces of Baroque music. Antonio Vivaldi's masterpiece expresses the emotion and movement of each season of the year. This concert will feature Spring, with its gentle breezes, singing birds, and playful streams, and Winter, with chattering teeth and ice storms! The familiar music will stay with you, even after the concert is over.
  • Vivaldi: Concerto Op. 8 No. 1 Spring from The Four Seasons
  • Vivaldi: Concerto Op. 8 No. 1 Winter from The Four Seasons


This activity is made possible, in part, by funds provided by the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council through a grant from the McKnight Foundation and an appropriation by the Minnesota Legislature.
