New Year’s Concert at Eglise de la Madeleine

On New Years Day my friend Carol Parisbreakfast invited me for a New Year’s Concert at Eglise de la Madeleine (Madeleine church). I couldn’t have started the year in a better way, sitting in one of Paris most beautiful church listening to the orchester “Les Violons de France” performing Vivaldi‘s “Les Quatre Saisons” (the Four Seasons” and other classics. I enjoyed it very much, but Carol, who’s been in Venice several times (Vivaldi’s home town) and listened to Venetian orchesters performing Vivaldi’s Four season in smaller churches with better acoustics told me the best experience was “over there”..thanks Carol for giving me a reason to discover the beautiful city of Venice,  it is now on my list to visit during my Italian getaway later this Spring :-)

However, I enjoyed this concert very much, closed my eyes and the music made me dream away….
