Mercury musicians step out of the orchestra and into the spotlight for a night of Vivaldi concertos. Designed to celebrate the composer’s diversity and the players’ virtuosity, the night features founding violinist Jonathan Godfrey and other soloists sharing their love of Baroque music. Make a date with Mercury to experience some of the most fantastic and most tender moments in Vivaldi’s work.
