Description
Summary:"This program is devoted to the 18th century, the age of decadence. It covers the rise of Antonio Vivaldi and his famous all-women orchestras at the Pieta, the heyday of Venetian composition, Vivaldi's departure from Venice and the rise of a new breed of composer, and the decline--when the kissing had to stop. Live performances at the Conservatorio and the Church of the Redentore."--Container.
