The Pawling Concert Series will reach back to the music of the 17th and 18th centuries as we welcome musicians from the Vivaldi Project. This period instrument ensemble takes its name from composer Antonio Vivaldi in recognition of his pivotal position between earlier Baroque and later Classical composers. In addition to familiar string instruments, the group will include harpsichord and theorbo, as well as a vocalist.
