A rare opportunity to experience Elizabeth Blumenstock’s interpretation of the seminal concerto set—still radical and inspiring today three centuries since its premiere—performed on her 1660 Guarneri violin, on generous loan to her by the Philharmonia Baroque Period Instrument Trust. Plus, Vivaldi’s only Lute Concerto, with GRAMMY®-award-winning soloist Stephen Stubbs, and lively orchestral pieces featuring the Festival Orchestra led by Blumenstock.

This performance of The Four Seasons is sponsored by Margaret Gates in memory of Larry Gates.
