I MUSICI — Vivaldi’s Four Seasons

Auditorium Palma — Sala Magna, Av. Gabriel Roca, 18, 07014 Palma, Balearic Islands

The legend returns! I Musici di Roma are back at the Auditorium de Palma.

Following the success of their visit in 2025, the world’s most prestigious chamber orchestra returns to offer us an unforgettable evening. Prepare for a journey into the heart of the Baroque with a programme culminating in the most beloved work of all time: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.

This is not just a concert; it is an opportunity to hear music performed by those who best understand Vivaldi’s spirit. Alongside the energy of «L’Olimpiade» and the elegant contrasts of Wassenaer and Avison, we will experience an evening of virtuosity, emotion and pure sonic beauty.

I Musici do not merely play music; they make history on stage.

Antonio Vivaldi: Symphony from «L’Olimpiade», RV 725

We begin with the boundless energy of 18th-century Venice. This symphony served as the overture to one of Vivaldi’s most famous operas. Through its three movements (fast-slow-fast), the orchestra unfolds a theatrical brilliance that prepares us for the evening’s dramatic intensity. It is music that breathes vitality and technical skill.

A Journey through Europe: Wassenaer and Avison

The programme offers us two fascinating stops outside Italy that demonstrate the influence of the Italian style throughout the continent:

The Masterpiece: Vivaldi’s Four Seasons

To close, we surrender to the work that I Musici have taken around the globe, turning it into a worldwide phenomenon. The Four Seasons are not merely violin concertos; they are tone poems.

Hear the birdsong of Spring, the stifling heat and summer storm in Summer, the celebration of the harvest in Autumn, and the trembling ice alongside the shelter of the fire in Winter. It is a marvel of descriptive music in which every note tells a story about humanity’s relationship with nature.

Fun fact: I Musici were among the first to record this work in the 1950s, helping the entire world rediscover Vivaldi’s genius, which had remained hidden and forgotten by everyone in a collegiate church in Borgo San Martino. Hearing them today means drinking directly from the source of the tradition.
