Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at 300
North American tour
MARCH 14 – APRIL 11, 2025
Les Arts Florissant, the celebrated baroque music ensemble founded by American-born conductor William Christie, returns to North America for an unprecedented concert tour.
| This spring, the ensemble is led for the first time by young violin virtuoso Théotime Langlois de Swarte, a loyal member of Les Arts Florissants, for a program devoted to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons to mark the score’s 300th anniversary. A chance to rediscover this iconic work reinterpreted by one of the most promising young French musicians of his generation! |
“Vivaldi’s music has an existential and therefore timeless dimension: it invites us to question our very existence, by appealing to our senses to evoke the cycle of life. With our Four Seasons, I want to let the audience hear a version that tries to convey Vivaldi’s original ideas, in a fairly raw way, without any aesthetic filter. As if we were discovering it for the very first time.” – Théotime Langlois de Swarte
Les Arts Florissants
“For decades [Les Arts Florissants] have been
fulfilling the task of any truly important cultural
institution: opening up new worlds of beauty and
excitement, both emotional and intellectual.”
—New York Times
