Program: The Complete Four Seasons by Vivaldi & A Little Night Music by Mozart

The Serenade No. 13 in G major, K. 525 – better known in French as Une petite musique de nuit – is a string serenade composed by Mozart in 1787. Its first movement begins with one of the most recognizable themes in classical music. It is Mozart's last serenade.

The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi is a set of four violin concertos composed in 1723. It is arguably Vivaldi's most famous work and one of the most frequently performed pieces of classical music worldwide. It is written for solo violin with chamber orchestra accompaniment. Each concerto represents a different season, portrayed through musical imagery. For example, Winter includes pizzicato notes on the high strings, evoking cold rain, while Summer features a thunderstorm in the final movement, foreshadowed by rumbling thunder.
