In 1706 Antonio Vivaldi became violin teacher at the Pio Ospedale della Pietà, an orphanage for girls in Venice, and remained associated with the institution for the rest of his life. During this period, the orchestra of orphans was gaining increasing recognition throughout Italy. Vivaldi composed most of his concertos, cantatas and church music for them. He wrote more than 500 concertos alone, including works for solo instrument – mostly violin or bassoon – and orchestra, as well as pieces for string ensemble, more reminiscent of later symphonies. The highly successful concert series of bassoonist György Lakatos and Concerto Armonico is based around Vivaldi's concertos. This time they will perform a selection of concertos for two soloists, with a short Hungarian introduction by György Lakatos.
