Postcards from Italy, Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey
Pack your musical bags and take a journey through sun-soaked landscapes and centuries of Italian inspiration. 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. From there, we travel to the early 20th century with Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances, a lush reimagining of Renaissance and Baroque melodies that feels both nostalgic and cinematic. The adventure concludes with Tchaikovsky’s passionate Souvenir de Florence, a sweeping string sextet infused with Italian spirit and Russian soul. Performed by members of the Capital Philharmonic of New Jersey, Postcards from Italy is a rich and romantic escape—no passport required.
