United StatesSpend an evening being serenaded by some of history’s greatest composers. Originally inspired by a real-life serenade outside his home, Mozart’s Serenade No. 11 soon became his first masterpiece for wind instruments. Dohnànyi’s Serenade for String Trio is a whirlwind of musical riches, moving rapidly and seamlessly from moments of rapture to bursts of frenetic energy. Johannes Brahms’s expansive Piano Quartet No. 1 takes its nickname Gypsy from the rollicking final Rondo movement that brings the monumental work to a breathless conclusion.
