Antonio Vivaldi – The Four Seasons

Complete performance of Vivaldi's beloved masterpiece by string ensemble in mountain setting

A string trio brings Vivaldi's Four Seasons to life, from the exuberance of spring to winter's hush, vivid, passionate and gloriously accessible. It unfolds in the morning light of the historic stone church of Vlatos, a mountain village wrapped in olive groves in western Crete, where centuries-old walls give barely fifty unamplified seats a rare, natural acoustic. It is a morning concert at the Vlatos Music Hall, home of Vlatos Jazz 2026, whose season runs from 28 June to 27 September, and a small bar serves honest Cretan food and drink made fresh on site, so come early and take your time. There are only about fifty seats, so book ahead.
