Lautreamont Concerts: Focus on Mendelssohn
Mendelssohn was one of the most gifted composers the world has ever known, surpassing even Mozart in terms of precocity. Mendelssohn had a gift for writing lyrical melodies and for crafting carefully refined pieces. The two works on the program were written before he was thirty years old.
Program for Thursday, January 31 at 7 o’clock
Mendelssohn: Piano Trio No. 1 in D Minor
A staple of the chamber repertoire, an inspired work of great melodic beauty and pianistic virtuosity
Steven Zynszajn, violin
Alistair MacRae, cello

Faure: Nocturne No. 2 in B Major
Satie: 3 Gnossiennes
Relaxing and impressionistic music for the piano, a breather between the two Mendelssohn juggernauts

A sunny, exciting string quartet, full of drive and vitality
Steven Zynszajn, Violin
Francisco Salazar, Violin
