One of the most successful productions in the Candlelight Concerts series – “classical music concerts aimed at democratising access to classical music by allowing people all over the world to enjoy live music candlelit performances”.  The Vivaldi favourite was written as concerti for violin and orchestra, but it’s often arranged for a quartet and this is what we’ll be getting here, performed by the Gulf String Quartet.

Concerto No.2 in G minor, Op.8, RV 315, “Summer”
