The first movement of Vivaldi’s Concerto in C Major for Mandolin, Strings and Harpsichord is the main piece of the soundtrack of the film Kramer vs. Kramer, for which Meryl Streep won the Academy Award for Best Actress. The appearance of this composition on the soundtrack meant that it began to be included more frequently in the programmes of Baroque music concerts. Furthermore, the film had an important social impact by placing on the table of public debate the new perception of new times about the concept and idea of family. In this activity, the Asturian group Forma Antiqua, conducted by Aarón Zapico, will perform this and other pieces by Vivaldi, Telemann and other composers of the time, in a fun gathering aimed at all sorts of families.
