Vivaldi Sacred Box by Bezdin Ensemble Bezdin Ensemble : Vivaldi Sacred Box.
 Chamber orchestra, choir and vocalists specializing in sacred music.

In September 1703, Vivaldi became maestro di violino (master of violin) at a girl orphanage called the Pio Ospedale della Pietà (Devout Hospital of Mercy) in Venice. Vivaldi was only 25 when he started working at the Ospedale della Pietà. Over the next thirty years he composed most of his major works while working there.

Bezdin is a similar institution in Romania; its purpose is still to give shelter and education to girls who were abandoned or orphaned, or whose families could not support them. The girls receive a musical education and the most talented stay and became members of the Bezdin ensemble choir or orchestra, at moment based in Russia.

The performance was commissioned for the Arad's Christmas Concert of 2009 in Romania. The Bezdin Ensemble decided to use in part, girl voices for the choir, involving the girl choir of the Bezdin orphanage.
