Carnevaldi

Did you know Vivaldi composed the majority of his choral music for an all-female ensemble in Venice? With actual Female Tenors and Female Basses?!? Based on the work of the world-famous Vivaldi’s Women ensemble (Oxford UK), this performance aims to re-create the sound world of Vivaldi’s Venice, featuring an all female ensemble, with some of BUFFALO’s finest singers on the “Gloria”… Including Tenors and Basses! Come hear this special, unique, authentic performance of one of the greatest choral masterworks of all time! We are also presenting a haunting aria from one of Vivaldi’s recently rediscovered operas, premiered by a Female Baritone, Suzanne Fatta. In the second half, the orchestra will present Pedrollo's “Concertino for Oboe,” and violin soloists of the Camerata in a round-robin performance of Paganini's “Il Carnevale a Venezia.” Afterward, enjoy Bellinis and Venetian hors d'oeurvres & sweets! FREE Venetian reception to follow! MASKS encouraged ???? Co-sponsored by The Italian Vice Consulate of BUFFALO. Off-street parking, tickets $20 at the door or by subscription Free admission for ages 17 and under (accompanied by an adult) !!! Be sure to get there early, especially ticket holders ????
