It may be one of the most frequently performed and recorded works in the Baroque repertoire, but when was the last time you really listened to Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons? Nic conducts the orchestra in a program of Italian Baroque concertos featuring this ubiquitous masterpiece. At these concerts, you'll have the opportunity to listen closely and rediscover Vivaldi's most dramatic work for yourself, as well as hear lesser known works from this epoch in the history of string music.
