The Lyric Chamber Music Society of New York began its celebration of Mendelssohn’s 200th birthday last season, when it included a handful of rarities in its programming. It has a few more up its sleeve too, including a reconstruction of an unfinished piano concerto. But for the actual birthday, on Tuesday, the society presented a salon concert of the sort that was common in Mendelssohn’s day, bringing together vocal works and piano music.
