Experience the glory of the violin set to candlelight. A magical evening of music featuring Vivaldi and other Baroque composers awaits!

Join us on December 7 for an unforgettable evening celebrating the enduring legacy of Antonio Vivaldi, one of the most influential composers of the 18th century. Known for pioneering the three-movement solo concerto form, Vivaldi’s genius has left an indelible mark on the world of classical music, inspiring luminaries such as Bach.

Our program features four exceptional violin concertos, each penned by a composer from a different country with direct links to Vivaldi’s artistic influence:

  • Johan Georg Pisendel (Germany)
  • Pietro Locatelli (Italy)
  • Johan Helmich Roman (Sweden)
  • Jean-Marie LeClair (France)

This year’s soloists, all esteemed members of the Vivaldi by Candlelight chamber orchestra and former students of the renowned Gerald Elias, have distinguished themselves as accomplished professional musicians. Gerald Elias himself will also grace the stage as the fourth soloist, ensuring a performance that’s nothing short of spectacular.

No Vivaldi by Candlelight concert is complete without a tribute to the master himself. Enjoy three of Vivaldi’s captivating concertos for string orchestra, showcasing the exceptional talent and virtuosity of our entire ensemble.

As we celebrate Gerald’s 20th anniversary as music director of Vivaldi by Candlelight, this concert promises to be a fitting homage to a series that has brought so much joy and inspiration to our audience. Don’t miss this enchanting evening of music that bridges centuries and connects hearts.
