Ensemble Mirabilia: Luce e Ombra (light and shadow) – Antonio Vivaldi

The Luce e Ombra project, “Light and Shadow,” brings together our favorite vocal and instrumental works by the famous Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi. The program for this concert reflects his style, full of contrasts: light and dark, sadness and joy, despair and exuberant happiness, all sprinkled with characteristic oddities that pleasantly spice up his writing.
