The Four Seasons

Vivaldi’s set of four wildly evocative violin concertos ranks among the most popular pieces of music on the planet, treasured in record collections, constantly reimagined, and an evergreen on-hold soundtrack. But how well do we really know them? Who did he write them for, and where, and when? Was he a poet, a priest, or even a spy? Bring your questions to this open discussion with Dr Hannah French, author of the soon-to-be-published The Rolling Year: a companion to Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons.
