The renowned Baroque music ensemble Les Arts Florissants (LAF) presents a 21-city North American tour marking the 300th anniversary of Antonio Vivaldi’s beloved “Four Seasons.” The tour is led by young virtuoso violinist and dedicated LAF member Théotime Langlois de Swarte, and comes to Hodgson Concert Hall on March 15 at 7:30 p.m.
Published in 1725, Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” is one of the most popular works of all time and played an essential role in the composer’s fame. Théotime Langlois de Swarte says, “For one of the best-known composers in Western music, it is astonishing there are still so many facets to explore.”
The spring 2025 tour marks the first time since 2001 that Les Arts Florissants travels coast to coast in America. It is also the first time that a LAF tour is led by a musician from the third generation of Les Arts Florissants.
The tour program, performed by 12 musicians, complements Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” by including works of Monteverdi, Uccellini and Geminiani, Baroque composers who influenced Vivaldi’s approach, and those he in turn inspired.
Join audiences for a free pre-performance talk by Brian Roach in Ramsey Concert Hall from 6:45-7:15 p.m.
This performance is supported by Marty Farnsworth and Richard Owens.
