Vivaldi's The Four Seasons at Palazzo Biscari — Baroque Concert in Catania

Vivaldi's Four Seasons at Palazzo Biscari: a baroque concert in Catania's historic palace

On 7 May 2026 Palazzo Biscari will host an evening dedicated to Antonio Vivaldi. The programme, arranged to evoke the intimacy of 18th-century chamber concerts, features The Four Seasons alongside other violin concertos, performed by a string quintet and harpsichord.
