Camerata: The "Other" Four Seasons

Vivaldi’s set of four violin concertos known as The Four Seasons has achieved a lasting place in the repertoire; but there are other, less well known concertos for strings that give those concertos some competition. The Purchase College Camerata presents four of its leading string players in a group of equally stellar, but lesser performed, concertos by Bach, Vivaldi, and their contemporaries that rival Vivaldi’s famous Seasons.

General admission: $10; free to Purchase College students, staff, and faculty, and Neuberger Museum of Art Members.
