When one thinks of 18th-century Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi, one doesn’t usually think about the mandolin. But mandolin player John Reynolds, who leads the ensemble John Reynolds & Company, does. He’s rearranged the “Spring” and “Autumn” sections of Vivaldi’s famous Four Seasons, and dug up the composers Double Mandolin Concerto.
The ensemble will perform them at a virtual concert of the Hudson Library & Historical Society, which will also feature two sonatinas by Beethoven, and an aria from Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute, arranged for mandolin, cello and strings. Musicians include Reynolds and Mark Polanka on mandolin, concertmaster Timothy Staron, violinist Shirley Keirnan, violist Devon Caskey, cellist Greg Fiocco and Alexandre Marr on harpsichord and piano.
The concert will run first on the Hudson Library’s Facebook page on Sunday March 28 @ 2pm and will be available on its YouTube channel after that.
