Il Giardino d’Amore (Vienna/Crakow) presents

AMOR ROMA: The Accademia degli Arcadi
Music of Vivaldi, Sammartini, and Bach

with Marianne Pfau as special guest on recorder and baroque oboe

The USD Music Department invites you to AMOR ROMA, a concert featuring the remarkable Polish/Austrian Ensemble Il Giardino d’Amore. It offers beautiful Italian favourites, including Vivaldi's Autumn Concerto from 'Four Seasons' and Sammartini's sprightly Recorder Concerto. Both Vivaldi and Sammartini belonged to the famed Accademia degli Arcadi (Arcadian Academy) in Rome.

In Greek mythology, Arcadia was the home of the god Pan, and in European Renaissance arts, Arcadia was celebrated as an unspoiled, harmonious wilderness. Many of the Roman composers of the Baroque period, Vivaldi and Sammartini among them, set out to capture this harmony of nature in their music. In turn, inspired by their own AMOR ROMA, many Germans, including Bach, followed suit, envisioning Arcadia in their slightly more reflective, but no less elegant style.
