Portland Baroque Orchestra | Spring: Vivaldi, Guido, & Samuel

• Julian Perkins, harpsichord
• Tomà Iliev, violin

Antonio Vivaldi — Violin Concerto No. 1 in E major, Op. 8, RV 269 "La primavera" ("Spring" from The Four Seasons)
Johann Sebastian Bach — Keyboard Concerto No. 7 in G minor, BWV 1058
Giovanni Antonio Guido — "Spring" from The Four Seasons
Rhian Samuel — Gwanwyn (world premiere)

A celebration of rebirth and renewal, from the much-loved "Spring" from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, to the world premiere of Rhian Samuel's Gwanwyn (the Welsh word for spring), commissioned by PBO in response to Vivaldi's interpretation of the season. We also explore Bach's Harpsichord Concerto in G minor, a "rebirth" of one of his earlier works where the organic interplay of soloist and orchestra captures the nature of springtime.

Join us one hour before the performance for a pre-concert talk about the program. Learn more here: https://pbo.org/discover/pre-concert-talks
