He thoroughly enjoyed performing his music with a group of friends who would sing his melodies or play his instrumental pieces accompanied by Schubert himself at the piano. These sociable evenings of his songs, chamber music, and solo piano works, came to be known as Schubertiads. In addition to the gorgeous selections by Schubert, today's program includes Mozart's playful Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola, an overture, and two vocal pieces by Mozart from his opera, Cosi Fan Tutte. A cello concerto by Edward Elgar, a guitar concerto by Vivaldi, and a nocturne by Chopin round things out.
