We have a lot of fun while learning a lot

Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)

Antonio Vivaldi was an Italian composer, violinist, and teacher from the Baroque era of music. He was born in Venice, Italy, and one of nine children. His father was a barber-turned-violinist and taught his son from a young age. It is believed that Vivaldi was a sickly person, who suffered from asthma his whole life. That did not stop him from becoming a Catholic priest, though. Nicknamed “The Red Priest” due to his red hair, Vivaldi also worked at an all-girls orphanage and taught them music, specifically the violin. He wrote hundreds of works in his life, mostly concertos and sonatas. His most famous work is a group of four violin concertos called The Four Seasons. After he passed away, his popularity faded, but his music was rediscovered and revitalized several hundred years later.
