Join us for Tea & meet Laurel Corona, local author of The Four Seasons: A Novel of Vivaldi's Venice.

A priest by profession, in his mid-20s Antonio Vivaldi was renowned in Venice primarily as a superb violinist.

In fact, he had barely begun to compose music when he was hired to be the violin teacher for the top soloists at the foundling hospital, cloister, and musical academy known as the Ospedale della Pieta.

Vivaldi might never have reached his full potential as a composer if he had not had the coro of the Pieta, a disciplined and skilled ensemble of instrumentalists and vocalists, to work with, and Corona thinks it is fair to say that to a significant degree the musicians of the Pieta allowed Vivaldi to become Vivaldi.
