This concert will see them team up for an all-Vivaldi program, including two of the Venetian Baroque master’s concertos for two violins; of course, no Vivaldi program would be complete without The Four Seasons, his beloved collection of violin concertos, to be performed with Avital on mandolin.

the four seasons<br />
by Donald Munro<br />
For Patricia Mabee, who adores Vivaldi’s The<br />
Four Seasons but isn’t quite so infatuated<br />
with commuting through all of them, “winter”<br />
in LA is thankfully a gentle term. It doesn’t<br />
involve a thick parka rated to 10 below zero.<br />
No slushy streets. Freezing her fingers because<br />
of forgotten gloves? Not a chance. For<br />
that, the longtime Los <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> Orchestra<br />
principal keyboard has to get out of<br />
town.<br />
“I love traveling to cold places like Scandinavia,<br />
Canada and New York in the winter,”<br />
she says, “but no more than a few weeks at a<br />
time, please!”<br />
Then it’s back to Los <strong>Angeles</strong>, which has,<br />
at the most -- two seasons? One? The matter<br />
is up for debate.<br />

Antonio Vivaldi wrote his famed The Four Seasons<br />
when he was living in Mantua, Italy, a place that<br />
definitely has all four. After experiencing hot, humid<br />
summers and freezing winters, it’s no wonder<br />
he was always so glad to see spring and autumn<br />
(especially without air conditioning or central<br />
heating). Vivaldi probably would have loved the<br />
weather in LA Everyone else does, right?<br />
“I love traveling to cold<br />
places like Scandinavia,<br />
Canada and New York in<br />
the winter but no more<br />
than a few weeks at a<br />
time, please!”<br />
