Free, accessible concerti grossi
Got a message that informed me of an upcoming concert 'Noogans may be interested in.
The Chamber Orchestra of Tennessee will be performing Antonio Vivaldi's Le quattro stagioni (The Four Seasons) at Christ Church Episcopal, on Sunday, November 11 at 4pm. Admission is free.
Christ Church is located at the corner of Douglas St and McCallie Ave in downtown Chattanooga (across McCallie from 1st Presbyterian).
I have known one of the violin soloists for many years (so many I won't give a number), and I can vouch for this musician's excellence. I haven't heard this group perform, but the one person I know would not be in it if it wasn't a quality outfit.
Those of you who, like me (in years past), are wont to scoff at the fare — the Four Seasons are up there among the most often-played works in all of literature — should do yourselves a favor and give an old nag another run. Listen with fresh ears, and you'll hear exactly why so many people love this music. Vivaldi really captured something, whether or not we music snobs want to admit it.
