Yes, this concert will also feature Summer from the immortal Four Seasons, but this will be Antonio Vivaldi in XXL form! Through a wide selection of his concertos—or fragments thereof—for violin and multiple instruments (including Concerto Per la Solenità di S. Lorenzo RV 562 for two oboes, two horns, violin, strings, and continuo, RV 551 for three violins, and RV 578 for two violins, cello, strings, and continuo), as well as instrumental arrangements of vocal works (Dixit Dominus), Capella Cracoviensis will refute the unfair cliché that the Red Priest didn't write 600 concertos, but one concerto 600 times. Discovering the richness of colour, sound, and harmony, the orchestra will be led as concertmaster by the star of French historical performance, Théotime Langlois de Swarte.
