Two well-loved classics fill this program with joy and verve. Mozart completed his Symphony No.25 at age 17. It is a work infused with warm sincerity and high spirits, a classic that basks in glorious “eternal sunlight.” Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto is a beguiling and elegant exemplar of the early romantic period, taking the audience on a dream-like journey that is lyrical and spiritual.
