Synergy Series: Canaletto and Vivaldi
Synergy Series
Discover the connections between art and music in this major new partnership with Orpheus Sinfonia.
Through five intimate performances filmed within the splendour of Hertford House, we invite you to explore the styles, forms and compositions that unite music – performed live in our galleries during lockdown – with paintings, decorative arts, and arms and armour.
With concise introductions from Wallace Collection Director, Dr Xavier Bray, alongside Orpheus Sinfonia’s Artistic team, Thomas Carroll and Rosemary Taylor, each premier broadcast features Orpheus Sinfonia musicians performing a specially-selected repertoire that brings the synergy of art and music into focus.
Canaletto and Vivaldi - Originally broadcast 18.00 BST 21 March 2021
Examine the synergy between Vivaldi and his 18th-century Venetian contemporary, Canaletto. This performance showcases how both composer and artist captured Venetian life so brilliantly, framing Vivaldi’s sparkling vivacity of composition against the carefully-constructed city views of Canaletto.

Vivaldi – Concerto alla Rustica, RV151, III Presto
Vivaldi – Oboe Concerto in A minor, RV461
