Muti, who has called “Night Ferry” “a spiritual thunderstorm,” has packaged it between Schubert’s Entr’acte No. 3 from “Rosamunde” and his Symphony No. 3, the “Great C Major,” for Wednesday’s 8 p.m. performance.

A NEW COLLABORATION: The already vibrant early-music scene in the Bay Area has just acquired a new ensemble, with the mellifluous name Harmonia Felice, devoted to the music of the French Baroque, with as many different combinations of their various instruments as the repertoire affords. The members are the ubiquitous Elizabeth Blumenstock, a fine violinist who plays with Philharmonia Baroque and the American Bach Soloists and several other groups; violinist-violist Katherine Kyme; harpsichordist Katherine Heater; violoncellist William Skeen and cellist and gambits Amy Brodo. Their inaugural program highlights a French female composer and harpsichordist who was high in King Louis XIV’s favor, having wowed him with her prowess at the keyboard when she was a 5-year-old moppet. In addition to works by Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre, the concert will include selections from Marin Marais, Jean-Baptiste Barriere, Francois Couperin and others. Harmonia Felice plays at 8 p.m. Friday in Palo Alto’s First Lutheran Church, 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Berkeley’s St. John’s Presbyterian Church and 4 p.m. Sunday in St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in San Francisco. Tickets, $12-$35, are at 510-528-1725 or www.sfems.org.
