Feel the sun on your shoulders and sip wine on the Piazza San Marco. Experience spring, summer, fall and winter in Italy with Venetian Baroque master Vivaldi. The German composer Mendelssohn, whose vibrant symphony was inspired his by own travels, reveals his 19th-century impressions of Rome and Naples. LACO concertmaster Margaret Batjer leads our wonderful musical journey from the first chair.
“This is Italy! And now has begun what I have always thought…to be the supreme joy in life.” Mendelssohn to his father, from Venice, October 1830
