Probably the best-known program music in the classical repertoire\, th ese concerti depict roiling streams\, wintery blasts\, dancing peasants\, baying dogs and more. Performed by a chamber ensemble playing period instr uments\, this concert offers listeners an exciting introduction to the sou nd of Vivaldi’s musical world.\nIn addition to these wildly popular conc erti\, the concert also includes two other selections from Vivaldi’s 500 concerti. The first is Vivaldi’s charming Concerto alla rustica\, a li ttle piece that mirrors the Seasons just a bit with country dancing and rollicking fiddles.\nAnd for the second\, EMMo’s regular violist\, Timot hy Eshing\, steps in front of the ensemble to perform Vivaldi’s Concert o in D minor for Viola d’amore &\; Strings. A more restrained contras t to the flamboyance of The Four Seasons\, this concerto features the sel dom-heard but evocative\, viola d’amore. Trained as a composer and mode rn violist\, Tim first investigated Early Music performance under the guid ance of William Bauer\, St. Louis’s early bowed string specialist. With Bill’s encouragement\, Tim added the viola d’amore to his collection and EMMo is very pleased to present this unique concerto on our all-Vival di program.\nSoloist Daniel S. Lee (Baroque violin) has become a regular part of EMMo’s concerts\, visiting St. Louis several times each season to lead our string ensembles. Praised for his “fleet-fingered\, passiona te…soulful performance” (The New York Times)\, he is the founding dire ctor of the Sebastians\, an award-winning period ensemble based in New Yor k City. He frequently performs as a soloist and leader with Early Music Mi ssouri\, the Kansas City Baroque Consortium\, the Providence Baroque Orche stra\, and the Washington National Cathedral Baroque Orchestra. In previou s seasons\, Daniel has appeared as a soloist and leader with such ensemble s as Early Music New York\, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra\, Juilliard415\ , New York Baroque Incorporated\, Trinity (Wall Street) Baroque Orchestra\ , and the Yale Schola Cantorum. Daniel studied at the Juilliard School (B. M.)\, Yale University (M.M.\, Art.Dip.\, M.Div.)\, and the University of C onnecticut (D.M.A.). He currently teaches Early Music in the School of Mu sic at Yale University.\nThis concert will be held at St. Paul United Chur ch of Christ\, 115 West B Street\, Belleville\, Illinois 62220.\nEarly Mus ic Missouri is the region's foremost promoter and presenter of Early Music concerts.
