Nigel Kennedy and Zagreb Soloists at the Little Roman Theatre

Nigel Kennedy performs with Zagreb Soloists at the Little Roman Theatre in the programme Originals & Vivaldi: The Four Seasons.

The Pula concert brings together Kennedy’s own material and Vivaldi’s cycle The Four Seasons, with Zagreb Soloists as the chamber ensemble of the evening.

Vivaldi outside routine concert form

Nigel Kennedy is a violinist who has never separated classical virtuosity from stage personality. His connection with Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is especially important because that repertoire introduced him to audiences far beyond the usual classical music circle. In Pula, the familiar Vivaldi cycle stands alongside Kennedy’s Originals, so the concert is not a standard baroque evening. The same programme connects the performer’s own material, the discipline of a chamber ensemble and music that many listeners know well, but can hear through an interpretation that often changes its temperature, pace and stage energy.

Zagreb Soloists and the open stage

Zagreb Soloists provide a chamber frame that suits the Little Roman Theatre. In that setting, the string sound, solo line and communication between musicians remain clear to the audience, while Kennedy’s performance rests not only on virtuosity but also on direct contact with the ensemble.

Accommodation in Bale

For the concert by Nigel Kennedy and Zagreb Soloists at the Little Roman Theatre, Bale is about 22 kilometres from Pula, roughly 26 minutes by car. It is a quieter base for an evening concert in Pula and the return after the performance: accommodation in Bale.
