Omar learned a lot about Vivaldi this year. He first discovered Vivaldi through reading a book called  “I, Vivaldi” – the book tells the story of how Vivaldi followed in his father’s footsteps to become a violinist and grew up to be the music director of a girls orphanage. Vivaldi wrote many concertos for the girls including the Four Seasons and their orchestra became one of the most famous in the world. The girls often didn’t have a family name so they would take the name of their instrument as their family name – Marie of the Viola, Louise of the Cello etc. Here is Omar of the Violin’s performance of Vivaldi’s Autumn…

At a recent CMW workshop, the hip hop string quartet Sweet Plantain performed a rockin version of Vivaldi’s two cello concerto that made us all want to dance. Check out Jori’s photos on flickr! Not only does Omar play Vivaldi really well, he can dance too!

Omar plans to learn themes from the other Four Seasons this year…

For this song, Omar learned how to slur two notes to one bow. Check out his gypsy flair!
