Carrie Krause, violin

The Battle Creek Symphony presents Vivaldi’s Four Seasons performed by candlelight. Colorful and dramatic, this concert features violin soloist Carrie Krause, who is known for her virtuosity and dazzling energy. To add to the excitement, we will play selections from Netflix’s most popular series, Bridgerton. This is sure to be a performance to remember. To create the most intimate feel, this concert is being held at the lovely Pennfield Performing Arts Center. The venue seats only 700 and is sure to sell out so get your tickets today.

 

  • Vivaldi's The Four Seasons was inspired by four poems. They may have been written by Vivaldi himself, who also provided instructions such as "the barking dog" in Spring, "Languor caused by the heat" in Summer, and "the drunkards have fallen asleep" in Autumn.
  • This concert is inspired, in part, by the hit Netflix series, Bridgerton. We'll be featuring several cover tunes from this series.
  • Bridgerton is set during the time of King George III and Queen Charlotte. George and Charlotte were excellent musicians themselves, Charlotte particularly of keyboard instruments as well as the guitar and together they held frequent recitals at St. James Palace.
