Antonio Vivaldi, the great maestro of the late Baroque, is best known for The Four Seasons and other violin concertos. You might not know that he was also a prolific composer of operas, cantatas, choral music, and chamber works. Join Dr. Kevin Zakresky, orchestral conductor and music historian, as he explores Vivaldi – the man AND music.
This series is made possible thanks to a generous bequest in support of music at the Library from the estate of Robert Leslie Welsh through the West Vancouver Memorial Library Foundation.
