As the grand finale of its 2026 Summer Festival, Early Music Vancouver presents Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons on August 7 at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts.
Vivaldi’s best-known concertos for violin and string orchestra revolutionized ideas about what orchestral music could achieve. In these compositions, music represents an extraordinary variety of concepts, including flowing creeks, singing birds of different species, a shepherd and his barking dog, buzzing flies, turbulent storms, drunken dancers, the warmth of winter fires, and the stillness of frozen landscapes.
This EMV program features star violinist and guest director Rachel Podger in collaboration with the Pacific Baroque Orchestra. Alongside Vivaldi’s masterpiece will be other compositions selected by Podger, performed by soprano Myriam Leblanc and baritone-tenor Marc Mauillon. Christina Hutton will host a pre-concert lecture at 7 pm.
