La Serenissima meets mandolin sensation Raffaele La Ragione for an all-Vivaldi extravaganza. Baroque Venice at its most stylish – and seductive.

“Gorgeous” was how Gramophone magazine described the playing of Raffaele La Ragione. And if you never realised that a mandolin could be playful, brilliant – even sensuous – this outstanding young Italian virtuoso has a thrilling surprise in store. He’s the perfect partner, in other words, for Adrian Chandler’s dazzling Baroque ensemble La Serenissima, and together they’ll do what they do best: take the music of Vivaldi and charge it with irrepressible virtuosity and joy. Four rarely-heard concertos whirl you to Baroque Venice in all its splendour, energy and grace – and all without leaving Trafalgar Square!
