Maia Jasper White, Caltech's Director of Chamber Music, performs the complete Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741) on violin. Along the way, she will also explain how Vivaldi set specific poetry about each season—from chirping birds to sweltering heat to chattering teeth to drunken harvest parties—to music.

On piano will be Valeria Morgovskaya.
