About this concert

Ukulele orchestra, singing saw, synthesizer: Vivaldi's Le quattro stagioni has taken on hundreds of guises. For our historical(!) version, Tobie Miller performs as the incarnation of Nicolas Chédeville, the French court musician who made an arrangement for the then very hip hurdy-gurdy. Chédeville also published sonatas by his own hand under Vivaldi's name... In this disguise, the boundaries between original and imitation are blurred. Can you still hear what is real and what is not?

About the performers

The Swiss Ensemble Danguy specializes in music in which the hurdy-gurdy plays a central role. The group’s leader, Tobie Miller, is one of the few performers who discovered this traditionally folk instrument—related to the bagpipes and the Swedish nyckelharpa—through early music. The ensemble is named after the most famous hurdy-gurdy player of the eighteenth century, known to us only as L’illustre Danguy.
