Lunchtime Concert | A Joyous Encounter

Elder Conservatorium Chamber Orchestra
Elizabeth Layton - violin/director
Danny Yang - piano

Vivaldi - Concerto alla rustica in G major, RV 151
Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 12 in A major, K. 414
Dag Wirén - Serenade for Strings, Op. 11

For a man sometimes accused of “composing the same thing over 600 times”, Vivaldi’s Concerto alla rustica is a remarkably forward-looking work. “What a loss to the musical world” wrote Mozart about the death of Johann Christian Bach, whilst including a theme of his mentor’s in this concerto. Dag Wirén's Serenade for Strings is a neo-classical composition characterized by its graceful and lively melodies, intricate counterpoint, and dynamic contrasts.
