VIVALDI GOES FOR A RIDE

VIVALDI GOES FOR A RIDE
with the Victoria Children’s Choir, Teresa Hron, recorder, and Marc Destrubé, violin and guest leader.

“We sing our hearts out!”—Victoria Children’s Choir

If you thought the recorder was a plastic do-dad you tried to play in music class, guess again! Teresa Hron is a dazzling virtuoso of the instrument (made of wood, of course), and she’ll play (count ‘em) two concertos that Vivaldi wrote for recorder (La Tempesta di Mare and Il Gardinello.) Then, fasten your seatbelts as Terri takes us on a ride with her own creative spin on Vivaldi.

The concert ends in a blaze of glory as the 30-voice Victoria Children’s’ Choir performs Vivaldi’s exuberant Gloria, accompanied by trumpet, oboe and strings.
