For their afternoon concert, the Festival Strings Lucerne have put together a program as varied as it is enjoyable, covering three centuries of music—and three different countries in Europe. Our journey begins in Venice, where Antonio Vivaldi taught music in a home for orphaned girls, writing his immortal concertos and sinfonias. We continue on to Naples and the milieu of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, the “angelico maestro,” as Vincenzo Bellini called this composer who died far too young. And with Wolfgang Amadé Mozart’s divine music we arrive in Austria, where we will also meet Joseph Marx, Hugo Wolf, and Wilhelm Kienzl. And for a spirited finale, we turn to the Hungarian Béla Bartók and his rousing “Romanian Folk Dances.”
