Antonio Vivaldi — Violin Concerto No. 1 in E major, Op. 8, RV 269 "La primavera" ("Spring" from The Four Seasons)
Antonio Vivaldi — Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 8, RV 315 "L'estate" ("Summer" from The Four Seasons)

Antonio Vivaldi — Violin Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, RV 297 "L'inverno" ("Winter" from The Four Seasons)
Traditional — Venetian gondolier songs

Avi Avital is leading a revival of the mandolin in classical music, fueled by his “deep musicality” and “eye-watering virtuosity” (The New York Times). Through a program celebrating the mandolin’s heyday in the 18th Century, Avital takes us down the canals of Venice with traditional gondolier songs and into the court with a fresh interpretation of Vivaldi’s "The Four Seasons".
