Vivaldi Cello Extravaganza

Brilliant instrumental music by Vivaldi written for his prodigies at the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice.

Poppy Walshaw and Carina Drury join Fiori to play exciting Vivaldi cello concertos in the Great Hall at St Andrew's Hospital, as we shine a spotlight on the powerful connection between beautiful music and wellbeing.

Poppy and Carina also perform cello duos by Vivaldi's compatriot, Tommaso Giordani from their new release Smock Alley.
