Info for Vivaldi: Concerti per una vita

One must get past the cliché (‘Vivaldi composed the same concerto 500 times’) to understand the extent to which composer, instrument and genre form an indissoluble whole; and that is what Théotime Langlois de Swarte and the musicians of Le Consort have set out to do.

From his early youth in Venice to his last days in Vienna, the ‘red-haired priest’ pushed back technical and academic boundaries, constantly creating new narrative forms: the journey of a lifetime.

Le Consort
Theotime Langlois de Swarte, violin, direction

Théotime Langlois de Swarte
‘Ambassador of the Year 2022’ of the REMA European Early Music Network, ICMA Awards 2022 for Mad Lover (Instrumental category) and winner of the Diapason d’Or of the Year 2022 for his Vivaldi-Locatelli-Leclair album and of numerous other awards, Théotime Langlois de Swarte has rapidly carved out a place for himself among the violinists of his generation on both modern and period instruments. His concerto repertory includes works by Baroque composers as well as Haydn and Mozart. He has performed in such prestigious venues as the Philharmonie de Paris, the Vienna Musikverein, the Berlin Philharmonie, Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles, the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Shanghai, Carnegie Hall and Wigmore Hall, in the company of Holland Baroque, Les Ombres and Le Consort, and also with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra on his first solo tour of Australia in 2023. With Les Arts Florissants, of which he was once a member, he now performs as a soloist; he will direct the orchestra from the violin in Vivaldi’s Four Seasons on a North American tour in the spring of 2025.

In recital, Théotime Langlois de Swarte is a regular partner of William Christie (with whom he released the album ‘Générations’ in 2021) and Justin Taylor, with whom he founded the Baroque ensemble Le Consort. With the lutenist Thomas Dunford and the pianist Tanguy de Willencourt, he has recorded ‘The Mad Loverˮ and ‘Proust, Le concert retrouvé’ respectively. With the Trio Dichter, his other chamber ensemble, he recently released ‘An Invitation at the Schumanns’’. Alongside his solo career, Théotime Langlois de Swarte appeared as a conductor at the Opéra Comique in two productions in 2023 (Lully’s Le Bourgeois gentilhomme and Grétry’s Zémire et Azor).

Théotime Langlois de Swarte is a laureate of the Fondation Banque Populaire. He plays a Jacob Stainer violin of 1665 loaned to him by the Jumpstart Foundation.
