Cleveland-based chamber ensemble Les Delices opens its season with a pair of performances called Mozart in Paris-Part 2, leading with an 18th-century arrangement of the Grand Partita by perhaps classical music’s most popular composer.

But they also offer a context for the work, playing pieces by Mozart’s 18th-century contemporaries such as Luigi Boccherini, Johann Schobert and Giuseppe Cambini and reading excerpts from Mozart’s letters. Special guest artist for the concerts is fortepiano specialist Sylvia Berry.

Thursday’s performance is at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Akron; Saturday’s is at Lakewood Congregational Church; and Sunday’s is at Plymouth Church in Shaker Heights. Tickets are $5-$35.

Immediately following the Sunday performance, Les Delices hosts a special 10th anniversary benefit evening at EDWINS on Shaker Square. It will feature French hors d’oeuvres, beverages, raffle prizes and a review of the release of Les Delices’ fourth CD, Songs Without Words. Tickets are $50-$150.
