Happy birthday, Antonio Vivaldi!



Antonio Vivaldi, born March 4, 1678 in Venice, Italy, was one of the most beloved and greatest Baroque composers ever. He was also a virtuoso violinist. He composed over fifty operas and The Four Seasons, considered his most famous work. 

Vivaldi wrote more than 500 concertos.  

My favorite is his Gloria in D, which I've had the honor to perform.

Vivaldi passed away in July 1741.
