Hi. The piece sounds like it could have come from the quill of Antonio Vivaldi, or perhaps from one of his contemporaries, but I'm not very sure about the exact identity of the work.

^ thanks for trying. anyone else?

[DavidW]

It's Vivaldi Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 3 No. 6.  What I think makes it hard to identify is that frankly the playing is absolutely terrible.  Sorry.

[Noob-guy]

Thanks, but is it a different variation of the song? Because it don't sound exactly the same, I mean only the beginning kind of sounds like it then the rest of the Song is different

[DavidW]

Oh sorry about that.  Assuming the title is right, I would try looking up baroque era operas and oratorios, within them are usually sinfonias and this is probably what this is.  If you were at that concert, wouldn't it be easier to contact someone else that was there for a copy of the program?  Or heck ask the conductor himself what was the name of the work.

I'm pretty sure David is correct with his identification. Many classical pieces are edited and arranged for performance by school ensembles, which is most likely the case here. These arrangements will vary from the original in form and length, and sometimes even in key. What I'll take issue with is David's "absolutely terrible" assessment of the playing. This is clearly a school orchestra performing in a noisy venue, most likely for an audience of family and friends. Congratulations to those kids for learning to play an instrument, getting together to rehearse and perform classical music, and sharing it with others.

Okay I apologize, there was a much more polite way of saying that their playing might not sound like the usual performance.  I did not have to say "absolutely terrible."
