THE SONATA SESSIONS: Rossini’s String Sonata No. 2 in A Major

In this episode of The Sonata Sessions, members of the Lyric Opera Orchestra perform Rossini’s String Sonata No. 2 in A Major led by Maestro Enrique Mazzola. The rhythmical variety and Rossini’s ability to take his audience on a journey from soulful to dramatic to impish all in one piece, foreshadows the breadth of his future operatic output. From laugh-out-loud comedy to heart wrenching drama, Rossini could—and would—do it all. Learn more about this series at and tune next week for another episode on Facebook and YouTube. Lyric Opera of Chicago would like to thanks its Official Airline, American Airlines.
