Antonio Vivaldi was initially ordained as a Roman Catholic priest and boy, are we happy he chose a career in music instead! The virtuoso violinist and a prolific composer is nowadays one of the most celebrated composers in music history, known for his instrumental writing and innovative use of orchestration. The popular Candlelight series is honouring the Italian master with a tribute to arguably his most recognisable work — The Four Seasons. Set inside the historic Odd Fellow Palace, you can unwind to iconic melodies as you’re surrounded by thousands of twinkling candles!
Candlelight: Vivaldi Four Seasons
Vivaldi was a pioneer of the Baroque concerto, with his most famous work being The Four Seasons. This set of violin concertos musically describes the images and emotions each season evokes. Whether it’s chirping birds, barking dogs, or icy winds, the Italian composer perfectly captures these seasonal changes. It’s a breathtaking piece of music that is set to be celebrated at this sensational Candlelight concert in Copenhagen.
Taking place at the Odd Fellow Palace, the ideal venue for this musical piece, as the opulence of the grand residence matches the soaring notes of Vivaldi’s work. In fact, the building is almost as old as the Four Seasons itself, having been built in the 1750s! The palace will take on a whole new life when lit by the glow of thousands of flameless candles.
Performing Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at this concert will be the talented musicians of Copenhagen Strings. With two performances on the night taking place respectively at 4:30 and 8:30pm, you can tailor your evening to attend the one that best suits you.
