I am grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy a live concert of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons last evening at the Sebastiani Theater in Sonoma, California.

The smaller theater was the ideal venue for this small concert that allowed us to be seated close enough to see as well as clearly hear the musicians bring this music to life with passion.

The hundreds of candles (electronic, not flame) brought a stunning visual element to the event. I captured this photo while seated back some 5 rows from the front. I love that even in this still image you can feel the intensity of the musicians as they employ their talents to breathe life into the notes that were written by Antonio Vivaldi more than 300 years ago.
