Spring Through the Pandemic: Composed by Laura Nobili

By Laura Nobili

Spring Through the Pandemic is a violin concerto which was commissioned by the VCM Chamber Orchestra with soloist Jonathan Crow in January 2021. It was performed on May 29, 2021 in a virtual concert, featuring Vivaldi's Four Seasons, intermingled with four original compositions representing experiences in each of the four seasons during the COVID-19 pandemic. Themes of sadness, uncertainty, fear, anger, frustration, and hope are explored - emotions all can relate with, in the beginning of such a difficult time. The piece aims to immortalize the impact of the pandemic through the medium of music, and connect with others in our experiences during such a distant and lonely moment in history.
