Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale Vivaldi and the Oud

Peter Whelan leads a program anchored in Vivaldi’s propulsive string writing, paired with a newly commissioned concerto by Philharmonia composer-in-residence Tarik O’Regan. Vivaldi’s Overture to L’Olimpiade and concertos from L’Estro armonico—works built on rhythm, contrast, and forward motion—helped define the Baroque concerto.
