Foundling Orchestra

Inspired by the women of
l’Ospedale della Pietà, the 18th-century
Venetian foundling home where Vivaldi
worked as a music teacher, Foundling is
embarking on a dual mission:
to develop a world-class professional
period instrument ensemble
dedicated to the magnificent string music of
the Baroque era; and to bring this
tremendous artistic resource to bear on the
needs of women and children in our
community. Foundling is proud to be
affiliated this season with the Rhode Island
Coalition Against Domestic Violence
