La Madeleine: Les Violons de France play Vivaldi's Four Seasons

Treat yourself to a memorable experience with a performance of Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons' by the Orchestre Les Violons de France in La Madeleine Church.

Historic La Madeleine Church is among the most important 19th century monuments in Paris, and its richtly decorated interior offers an inviting atmosphere to enjoy uplifting classical music.

The Four Seasons is a group of four violin concertos written by Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi in 1721. Each concerto represents the musical expression of a season of the year - probably the sounds Vivaldi experienced in the countryside of Mantua. Each concerto is paired with a sonnet-form text, authorship of which is often ascribed to Vivaldi also, making 'The Four Seasons' one of the earliest examples of program music.
