Vivaldi spent most of his life as a violin instructor and conductor at one of Venice’s orphanages for girls. Though he was ordained as a priest, his contentious relationship with the school’s governing board prevented him from ever achieving the coveted position of sacred-music director. Yet temporary vacancies at the top did give him several opportunities to try his hand at liturgical pieces. Under the beautiful Byzantine dome of St. Anne’s Church, the Aradia Ensemble presents several beautiful examples of these. Starting with the psalm In exitu Israel, which recalls his concertos with its lively vocals and chirpy string accompaniment, the group moves into a trio of motets, each intended to link parts of the mass with elegant melodies. Then, the program closes with his Magnificat, which takes inspiration from an ancient Marian hymn. The piece was written with his star pupils in mind, and it features six soaring arias, each named after the girl chosen to first perform it and to remind all friends of that fact for years.
Aradia Ensemble
- How long the musicians of the Aradia Ensemble have been breathing new life into the music of the Baroque: two decades
- How they do it: with period instruments, beloved classics, and oft-overlooked gems
- How they mix it up: by pairing with dancers, actors, and non-classical musicians to create unusual juxtapositions that shed light on the intricacies of the baroque style and make 18th-century ghosts wish they’d known about zithers
- Who’s waving the baton: maestro Kevin Mallon
- What he has led the Ensemble to: a Juno nomination and plenty of acclaim for its annual Dublin Messiah, a recreation of the original Dublin performance of Handel’s seminal Christmas piece in 1742
