What better way to start your Christmas preparations than with an evening of Vivaldi? Be inspired by some of the most recognisable and uplifting melodies of Vivaldi’s Gloria as the English Chamber Orchestra joins conductor Michael Collins and the Choir of the 21st Century; City Music Foundation artists Raphaela Papadakis and Lotte Betts-Dean are the soloists in this exciting work. Other highlights include ‘The Goldfinch’ flute concerto, with our principal flute Harry Winstanley as soloist, and Vivaldi’s energetic violin concerto ‘La Tempesta di Mare’ and ‘Winter’ from the Four Seasons, performed by Stephanie Gonley.
