The Chamber Orchestra of Louisville presents: EFFERVESCENCE

This program celebrates the spark of genius that shines in a composer’s earliest works. Written when their creators were still youthful prodigies, these pieces by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Josef Suk radiate freshness, charm, and emotional immediacy.

Mozart’s Divertimento in D major, penned at just sixteen, sparkles with clarity and effortless joy. Tchaikovsky’s youthful writing brims with Romantic lyricism and emotional sensitivity, hinting at the depths to come. Suk’s Serenade for Strings, composed as a student under Dvořák’s guidance, glows with tenderness, elegance, and heartfelt melody.

Together, these works offer a glimpse of brilliance in bloom—music born not from maturity, but from extraordinary instinct and boundless creative energy.

W.A. Mozart - Divertimento in D Major K. 136
