VIVALDI CELEBRATION AT PLANTING FIELDS: A HARMONIOUS BLEND OF MUSIC AND NATURE
Planting Fields Foundation proudly presented an enchanting afternoon of music and ecology on Saturday, August 24, from 1 to 4 pm, with a Vivaldi Celebration at Planting Fields. The event featured Grammy-nominated conductor Maestro Enrico Fagone, violinist Lorenzo Mazzamuto, and talented members of the Chamber Players International.
Concert-goers brought blankets, chairs, and picnic lunches to enjoy Antonio Vivaldi’s iconic concerto The Four Seasons from 1 to 2:30 pm, surrounded by the historic and blooming landscape of Planting Fields. From 2:30 to 4 pm, Planting Fields Arboretum Director Vincent Simeone provided a brief introduction to Maestro Fagone’s insightful commentary on the ways in which Vivaldi’s music has inspired generations of composers, from Mozart to modern-day musicians. He also explored the connection between Vivaldi’s love of nature and the ecological themes and motifs that appear throughout his work.
