The Vivaldi Project
Saturday, March 10 at 8pm

Praised for its brilliant and expressive playing, The Vivaldi Project, co-directed by Elizabeth Field and Stephanie Vial, is dedicated to presenting innovative programs of Baroque and Classical string repertoire that combine scholarship and performance to both educate and delight audiences. The period instrument ensemble takes its name from the virtuoso violinist and innovative composer Antonio Vivaldi in recognition of his pivotal position between earlier Baroque and later Classical composers (those well known and beloved as well as those rarely heard). The Vivaldi Project is a 2018 recipient of the Wolf Kahn & Emily Mason Foundation in support of its educational video project. www.thevivaldiproject.org

Selections in the program include Sonata in D major, B.36 by Johann Christian Bach and Divertimento in D major by Franz Joseph Haydn.
