Postcards from Italy, Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey
Historic Trenton Masonic Lodge, 100 Barrack Street, Trenton. www.capitalphilharmonic.org. This all-string chamber program opens with the elegant and expressive voice of 17th-century composer Isabella Leonarda — one of the few women writing music in her time — whose trio sonata offers a graceful glimpse into the Baroque era. Next is Respighi's "Ancient Airs and Dances," a lush reimagining of Renaissance and Baroque melodies. The adventure concludes with Tchaikovsky's "Souvenir de Florence," a string sextet infused with Italian spirit and Russian soul. $25 general admission.
