This program centers on the courtly, conversational style of the late 1700s. It opens with the overture to L'Amant Anonyme by Joseph Bologne Saint-Georges, a brisk, elegant curtain-raiser full of quick string exchanges. Mozart's Divertimento in E flat major, K.113, is a lighter, entertainment-style work, originally written for a small ensemble, with short dance-like movements meant to charm rather than challenge. The Sinfonia Concertante in A major by Johann Christian Bach features the violin in dialogue with the orchestra, trading melodic lines back and forth rather than dominating throughout. The evening closes with Mozart's Symphony No. 29, a work prized for its graceful opening theme and the way its four movements balance lyrical warmth with rhythmic energy. Listeners can expect a violin sound suited to this repertoire's transparency, where clarity of phrasing matters more than volume or virtuosic display.
