Spiccato Strings at Christmas

Presented by Spiccato Strings

Spiccato Strings, a string orchestra that has played without a conductor since it was founded in 2012 and shares its solo parts among its own players, gives its Christmas concert in Vídalínskirkja. The programme opens with Gluck's Danse des spectres et des furies and moves through Francesco Manfredini's Concerto grosso in G, Op. 3 No. 12, his Christmas concerto, Vivaldi's Concerto for Strings in D minor and a symphony in F by Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello, before it ends with Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D minor.
