GLORIA, by Antonio Vivaldi

Vivaldi’s Gloria was written in 1715 for the famous all-female ensembles of Venice’s Ospedale della PietĂ . The instrumentalists and singers were either orphans of the ospedale, or other young women who, as figlie di spese paid for the excellent musical education provided by the orphanage.

This program premieres a newly-discovered Cantata by one of Vivaldi’s orphans, Agata della PietĂ . Read more in the detailed program notes (see below). Further articles and podcasts are available here.
