The Four Seasons By Antonio Vivaldi

Venice is the only city in the world that, having developed according to a genetic code written beyond time, will remain forever unmistakable compared to all others; even today it presents itself as it always was, made of gold and Istrian stone, and its monumental halls continue to preserve the talent, creativity, and genius of the artists whom fate has chosen to bring together here forever.

Throughout its existence, the Most Serene Republic was an incredible laboratory of art: brilliant minds designed and built palaces and churches, skilled hands decorated their interiors, which would later host precious paintings; in the luthier workshops, violins and violas da gamba were born, and in salons, theaters, and elsewhere, symphonies, operas, and cantatas were performed.

Music, especially in the last centuries, was the soundtrack of everyday life, which flowed proudly in its self-celebration.

Then came the dark centuries: while architecture and painting resisted time thanks to their material structure, music, made of vibrations, vanished into the air, leaving Venice for an unknown destination.

The "Violins in Venice" concert season by Interpreti Veneziani seeks to bring a harmony that is at once new and ancient to these splendid remaining locations, proposing to revive the sound of some prestigious instruments, true works of art, in an environment full of history and great beauty.

This is how, at San Vidal, Baroque music and the notes of Vivaldi reconnect with the sacred spaces where they were born.

A meeting between music and the other muses, creating a moment of perfection that arises from the symbiosis of two elements seemingly made for each other.

Whoever you are and wherever you come from, welcome to the "harmonious city"!
