Children and their accompanying adults are invited to join us for a concert that will delight and educate about period-instrument music. Music Director Nicholas McGegan conducts this engaging program that features violinist Elizabeth Blumenstock playing Vivaldi’s “Winter” and “Spring” Concertos from “The Four Seasons,” accompanied by historical background information and engaging anecdotes. During the concert, the musicians of the orchestra will demonstrate how Vivaldi wrote sounds of nature, animals, bagpipers, nymphs and more into his masterpiece. After the performance, the same musicians will be available to answer questions and demonstrate their historical instruments. This program is recommended for children ages 5-13.
