VIVALDI - FOUR SEASONS by Candlelight

Mar 23, 2019 at 19:30 — 21:30 (GMT)
Organiser: Candlelight Concerts Ltd

If you're looking for a romantic candlelit experience - or simply want to enjoy some classical music greats in a gorgeous setting - then this is the concert for you. Join us for this candlelit concert, and the ensemble will transport you between seasons, countries, and eras. The program begins with the sublime and beautiful ‘Brandenburg Concerto No. 5’ by J.S.Bach, described by Classic FM as ‘the perfect gateway into the world of Baroque music.’ Vivaldi’s playful ‘Bassoon Concerto’ is contrast with the beautifully rich, pastoral masterwork of Vaughan-Williams, which itself is followed by the emotionally charged ‘Oboe Concerto’, by Telemann. The program is completed by ‘Spring’ & ‘Summer’ from Vivaldi’s ‘Four Seasons’, with its glistening melodies and enthralling instrumental interplay. For classical music lovers and casual listeners alike - this promises to be a truly special evening.

 

Programme:

Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No. 5

Vivaldi - Bassoon Concerto

Vaughan-Williams - The Lark Ascending

Telemann - Oboe Concerto

Vivaldi - “Spring” & “Summer” from The Four Seasons
