Vivaldi Four Seasons at Christmas by Candlelight

A candlelit programme of Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, given a Christmas theme, performed at Paisley Abbey in Paisley, a town just west of Glasgow.

The Four Seasons (Le quattro stagioni) is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, the Venetian baroque composer (1678–1741), scored for solo violin and strings. Published in 1725 as the opening concertos of Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, Op. 8, each one portrays a season of the year through its three movements.

This Candlelight concert presents Vivaldi's work in a Christmas programme, performed by candlelight. Candlelight concerts are classical programmes staged by candlelight, a series that presents familiar works in a setting lit by candles.

Paisley Abbey is the abbey church in Paisley and also hosts concerts and shows. Paisley lies just west of Glasgow, so the evening can be reached from the city.
