A quick run-down of today's performance of Vivaldi in the Vineyard: thunder, lightning, and rain, followed by clear skies and singing birds - and not just in the music! How fitting to present the 4 Seasons amongst the elements of the season that were so well-composed by Vivaldi. Thank you to all who were a part of this special environmentally-expressive event!
