Dear Friends and Supporters,
The next two concerts will bring our 2025–2026 season to a close. As the ancient Romans used to say—Tempus Fugit—meaning that time flies!
It has been an extraordinarily rich year for music, during which we have performed repertoire of exceptional beauty. This evening, we will perform musical works of exquisite beauty: from the Overture to The Marriage of Figaro by the great Austrian composer W. A. Mozart, to the extraordinary Concerto for Violin, Piano, and Orchestra by Felix Mendelssohn. Joining us are two exceptional artists: the return of the remarkably talented violinist Gennaro Desiderio, and—making his first appearance with us—the concert pianist Luigi Borzillo. We will then conclude the program with one of the most iconic symphonies by L. V. Beethoven.
Thank you for joining us this evening and for sharing in our emotions as we perform these sublime compositions.

PROGRAM
PROGRAM NOTE
FELIX MENDELSSOHN BARTHOLDY (1809–1847)
Concerto for Piano, Violin, and Strings in D minor, MWV O 4
The Concerto for Piano, Violin, and Strings in D minor is one of Mendelssohn’s earliest and most impressive feats, written in 1823 when he was only fourteen years old. It was composed for a private concert on May 25, 1823, at the Mendelssohn family home in Berlin, where Felix performed at the keyboard alongside his violin teacher and close friend Eduard Rietz. Often called a “double concerto,” echoing the Baroque style of Bach, the work gives both soloists equally demanding and characteristic parts. The two instruments stay in a constant, lively dialogue, with neither ever falling into the role of a simple accompanist.
Listeners who know Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins will notice a similar spirit in how Mendelssohn weaves these solo lines - a tribute showing how deeply the young composer had already embraced the Baroque master he would later help bring back to the public. The opening Allegro starts in a confident, bold D minor, with its main themes moving in close imitation before the music breaks out into brilliant virtuosity. The harmony already goes beyond a child prodigy’s first experiments, signaling the lyrical maturity that was soon to come. With the strings muted, the Adagio - the slow movement - offers a sense of peaceful, quiet beauty in A-flat major. The long melody shared by the soloists hints at the lyrical style that would later define Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words, which he started writing about six years later: a notable preview of his mature voice, already taking shape in a teenager’s mind. The finale, Allegro molto, returns with an infectious rhythmic energy, where Baroque influences appear again in a Bach-style chorale during the rush. The concerto ends in a bright D major, with the violin and piano joined in one last burst of brilliant interplay. The work was never published during Mendelssohn’s life, and it wasn’t until a new edition came out in 1999 that it joined the standard repertoire. Its late arrival only makes its quality more surprising: here is a composer not yet fifteen writing with the skill, confidence, and imagination of a seasoned master. This performance offers a rare and rewarding chance to hear Mendelssohn in the very moment of becoming himself.
PROGRAM NOTE
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770–1827)
Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92
Few symphonies in the repertoire start with quite the same power as Beethoven’s Seventh. After the stormy drama of the Fifth and the peacefulness of the Sixth, the Seventh - finished in 1812 and premiered on December 8, 1813, in Vienna - burns with a steady, almost primal energy. Richard Wagner famously called it “the apotheosis of the dance”, a description that, while romantic, captures the work’s rhythmic drive. The symphony opens with a long slow introduction - Poco sostenuto - of unusual weight and ceremony. Beethoven takes his time, as if mapping out the world he is about to build. The woodwinds play a broad, almost hymn-like theme; harmonies shift unexpectedly; and tension builds up. When the Vivace finally breaks out, it does so through a single, glowing rhythmic cell, a dotted figure that pushes the entire movement forward with unstoppable momentum.
The Allegretto is perhaps the most famous movement Beethoven ever wrote, and one of the most recognizable pieces in all of music. Set in A minor, it builds from a quiet, march - like pattern in the strings to a powerful climax, then fades away with that same quiet inevitability. At the premiere, the audience liked it so much they demanded an immediate encore - a great tribute to its emotional power. Its mix of dignity and deep feeling has since made it a favorite for both composers and listeners. The Presto scherzo that follows is one of Beethoven’s most exciting, with its outer sections full of driving rhythms and sudden accents. The contrasting trio - marked Assai meno presto - features a folk-like melody of clear simplicity, believed to come from an Austrian pilgrim’s song. Beethoven plays the trio twice, framing it between three appearances of the scherzo, as if he didn’t want to let go of the energy or the calm. The finale, Allegro con brio, lets loose forces barely held back throughout the rest of the symphony. It is music of almost intense physicality: rushing scales, heavy chords, and a fast forward drive leading to a triumphant A major finish. Beethoven cuts away everything extra, leaving only the pure joy of rhythm and shared excitement.
The work was written during a chaotic time in European history - the Napoleonic Wars - yet its message goes beyond any specific moment. The Seventh Symphony shows Beethoven at his most life-affirming: not despite the struggle, but because of it. Lorenzo Fiorito
