Celebrating 250 Years: “Sounds of the 1700s” featuring Lexington Strings
June 23, 2026 @ 7:00 pm
On July 4, 2026, the United States will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
To honor this historic milestone, Lexington Strings will present a vibrant recital featuring music of the era contemporary to the document’s signing. The performance will take place at Cary Memorial Library in Lexington Center.
The concert program includes:
• Antonio Vivaldi: Concerto in G major for Solo Violin, Strings and Continuo, Op. 3 “L’Estro Armonico”, No. 3, RV 310 (1711)
• Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Violin Concerto No. 4 in D major, K. 218 (1775)
• Ludwig van Beethoven: Sonata No. 3 in Eb major for Violin and Piano, Op. 12, No. 3 (1797-1798)
• Johann Sebastian Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G major for Violin, Two Recorders, Strings and Continuo, BWV 1049 (1721)
Based in Lexington, Massachusetts since 1984, Lexington Strings are musicians Letitia Hom, Yukiko Ueno Egozy, Michael Valdez and Vida Baterina Hom.
Ms. Hom plays a violin originally commissioned by and made for Roman Totenberg in 1982. Created by luthier Guy Rabut in New York City, her violin is patterned after Mr. Totenberg’s 1736 Giuseppe “del Gesù” Guarneri violin made in Cremona, Italy.
This program is made possible by the generous donors to the Cary Library Foundation.
