Vivaldi's Legacy presented by Australian Brandenburg Orchestra tickets
About Vivaldi's Legacy
In this intimate and poetic program, acclaimed Paris-based violinist Augusta McKay Lodge makes her Australian debut as soloist and Guest Director, shining a light on one of Baroque music’s most fascinating and overlooked figures – Anna Maria della Pietà.
A virtuoso who lived and performed at the Venetian orphanage where Vivaldi taught, Anna Maria inspired some of his finest and most demanding works. But she was more than just Vivaldi’s student. Celebrated in her time, Anna Maria played multiple instruments with extraordinary skill and had music written specifically for her by composers across Europe.
Led with elegance and insight by Augusta McKay Lodge, this refined program offers a rare glimpse into the sound world of Anna Maria. Through solo and chamber works full of nuance and colour, we hear the brilliance of a woman whose artistry helped shape Vivaldi’s enduring legacy.
This is a concert of detail, grace, and imagination. Multi-instrumental, historically inspired, and threaded with narration, Vivaldi’s Legacy invites you into the life of a remarkable artist and the music she brought to life.
