Sat 8 Feb 8pm
Adrian Chandler & Camilla Scarlett: Violins

La Serenissima was formed in 1994 for a performance of Antonio Vivaldi’s La sena festeggiante and has now firmly established itself as one of the leading exponents of the music of Antonio Vivaldi and his Italian contemporaries. Whilst works such as The Four Seasons form an important part of La Serenissima’s repertoire, the ensemble prides itself on bringing seldomheard works to the concert platform, including Vivaldi’s operas Ottone in villa, Giustino, Tito Manlio, La Fida Ninfa, Catone in Utica and L’Olimpiade as well as a host of instrumental rarities, many of which have been committed to disc. Works by other composers feature too such as Albinoni’s Il nascimento dell’Aurora and sacred vocal works by Caldara. La Serenissima has appeared at many of the UK’s leading venues and festivals including the Beverley, South Bank, and York Early Music Festivals, the Bath Bach, Bath International, Buxton, Cambridge Summer, Chelsea, Cheltenham, Lichfield and Warwick Festivals and St George’s Bristol, Snape Maltings, Cadogan Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Wigmore Hall.
