Les quatre estacions de Vivaldi amb Maria Florea & Franz Schubert Filharmonia

Baroque music programme centred on Vivaldi's Les quatre estacions, performed by the Franz Schubert Filharmonia with Maria Florea as solo violinist and conductor. It also includes works by Bach and a Vivaldi flute concerto.

The evening centres on Les quatre estacions, op. 8, by Antonio Vivaldi, one of the best-known works of the Baroque repertoire. Maria Florea, concertmaster of the Franz Schubert Filharmonia, proposes a vivid and bold reading from both the violin and the conductor's desk, with attention to the descriptive character and the melodic fantasy of the score.

The programme also includes Vivaldi's Concerto for flute and orchestra RV 439, "La notte", with flautist Ana Ferraz as soloist. From Johann Sebastian Bach, the Concerto for two violins in D minor, BWV 1043, and the Concerto for oboe and violin in C minor, BWV 1060R, are performed by Maria Florea together with Miguel Ángel Castillo and Pau Roca.

All the performers named are soloists of the Franz Schubert Filharmonia. The concert takes place at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, a building that hosts exhibitions and cultural activities.
