St Martin in the Fields: Crossing Borders
February 6 | 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Experience an evening of vivacious music by Vivaldi and his 18th-century contemporaries, performed by the acclaimed ensemble La Serenissima under the direction of Adrian Chandler.
This programme unites Vivaldi’s virtuosic Bohemian concertos with music by two European composers, Ariosti and Corbett, whose travels may have enabled them to work ‘undercover’ as spies, alongside a fantastic example of Telemann’s ‘mixed-taste’.
Led by Adrian Chandler, La Serenissima is renowned for their insight into the historical and technical understanding of Baroque music. This is an opportunity to enjoy the refined beauty of Baroque music in the hands of masterful performers.
