Vivaldi during Advent

Avi Avital, mandolin and conductor
Camerata Villa Musica

 

Avi Avital, the world-renowned mandolin virtuoso from Israel, shines alongside the young string players of Villa Musica in the successful “Vivaldi in Advent” series. In addition to mandolin concertos by the Baroque master from Venice, the program also features his Follia variations, various string concertos, and the famous lute concerto. In Bach’s Double Concerto in D minor, Avi Avital demonstrates that he can easily hold his own against Giulia Rimonda’s solo violin.
