Antonio Vivaldi wrote more than 500 concertos, none more famous than “The Four Seasons.” The renowned composer’s depictions of rustling leaves, shimmering snow, and the rejuvenation of spring are as vivid today as they were when the set was first published nearly three centuries ago.

Kansas City’s Bach Aria Soloists and Heart of America Shakespeare Festival meld the memorable music with the glorious language of Shakespeare’s poetry. The concert features BAS violinist Elizabeth Suh Lane, harpsichordist-organist Elisa Williams Bickers, and guest guitarist Douglas Niedt along with Heart of America Shakespeare Festival actors.
