Austrian composer Ignace Pleyel, who studied with Haydn, found lasting fame as a pioneer of piano building. His Paris-based company continued producing fine instruments after his death in 1831, influencing the development of piano works by, among others, Chopin and Debussy. Finghin Collins, inspired to pay homage to Pleyel after playing on a rebuilt Pleyel 280 concert grand piano dating from 1937, includes beautiful miniatures by the Franco-Irish composer Joseph O’Kelly and Georges Pfeiffer, both partners in the Pleyel firm.

Its sound, distinguished by “warmth of phrasing, dynamic control and superbly coordinated ensemble balance” (Gramophone Magazine), has solidified the ensemble as one of the most essential voices in American chamber music.

Inspired by hearing Handel in London – and with the parting gift of a libretto intended for that composer – Haydn was inspired to write his most ambitious work to date. From ‘chaos’, where classical harmonic logic is repeatedly contradicted, it moves on to the most famous C major chord in music on “Let There Be Light”.

The biblical days of creation are then depicted in a sequence of solos, each ‘day’ ending with a powerful chorus, culminating in the arrival in Eden of a pre-lapsarian Adam and Eve.

The Russian soprano, harvester of five-star reviews, applies her delightful artistry to a selection of arias from Vivaldi’s operas and Haydn’s dark-hued dramatic cantata, with its heartfelt response to Ariadne’s abandonment by her lover Theseus.

With "The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross," Joseph Haydn created one of his most profound and moving works. Originally composed as an orchestral arrangement for the Good Friday liturgy, the music later unfolded its haunting effect in versions for string quartet, piano, and choir. In seven slow movements, Haydn translates Jesus' last words into sounds of deep devotion, pain, and hope—a musicalmasterpiece about suffering, hope, and redemption. Or to put it another way: seven times goosebumps before the curtain falls.

Beethoven thought: Why have a solo instrument when you can have three people shine at once? The Triple Concerto: three soloists, an orchestra, and enough music to wallpaper the whole of Vienna. Virtuoso elegance, lyrical passages, and a dance-like vitality characterize this wonderful music, which functions like a well-mannered game of skat: one player leads, the others have to keep up.

Playing on period instruments, with an intimate understanding of historical style and collective love for its art, the Consone Quartet has won high praise. The Strad noted how its debut album of works by Haydn and Mendelssohn, released in 2017, ‘instantly leaps out of the stereo at you as something special’. Its programme prefaces the fourth of Mozart’s so-called Haydn Quartets, ‘The Hunt’, with the much lighter galanterie of Haydn’s Op. 33 No. 5.

Brahms’ Fourth Symphony is music that ‘is some of the darkest and deepest in the 19th century’ according to The Guardian. In fact, Brahms’ inner circle had advised him against releasing it publicly. However, at the concert in 1897, there was reportedly rapturous applause after each movement.

Tonight’s event “reconstructs” the programme of a concert on 7 March 1897. It was the last time Brahms attended a public performance of his own music.

Among the great pianists of our time, Christian Zacharias is considered the one who most naturally combines intellectual insight with an unpretentious narrative tone. His sophisticated Blaibach program—following masterpieces by Joseph Haydn and Franz Schubert—builds a bridge from the Baroque to the compelling originality of the French master composer Francis Poulenc.

With the death of his patron Prince Nikolaus Esterházy in 1790, Haydn became a free agent, and Johann Peter Salomon seized the opportunity to bring Europe’s most famous composer to Soho. Haydn's music already dominated the fashionable Hanover Square Rooms, especially after the death of the London-based Johann Christian Bach (youngest son of Johann Sebastian), whose Symphony in G minor opens the concert's second half.

Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 2 was premiered at Hanover Square in 1784. A decade later, he embarked on his second trip to London, and from this period come two of his best-known symphonies, earning nicknames through their popularity: the "Military" (No. 100), and the "London" (No. 104).

The English Baroque Soloists have this music in their blood, and their use of period instruments casts these works in an entirely fresh light. They are joined by cellist Christophe Coin, making his MCO debut. Historically-informed performance specialist Peter Whelan returns to direct after a “thrilling” (The Times), "dazzling" (The Observer) and “unbeatable” (Scherzo) debut with the orchestra in 2024.

The season closes with the irresistible fire and passion of music shaped by Romani traditions, which left an indelible mark on European composers. The romance, longing, and sense of freedom in these melodies found their way into some of the most beloved works of the repertoire. Haydn’s Piano Trio No. 39, with its famous “Gypsy” Rondo, dazzles in Hungarian style, while Brahms unleashes unbridled intensity in the torrential finale of his Piano Quartet No. 1. Ravel (Tzigane), Bartók (Romanian Dances), and Liszt (Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2) add their voices to this vibrant tradition. After the performance, join us for a festive reception—complete with a fortune teller to offer a lighthearted glimpse into your future. Our prediction: a brilliant season finale filled with inspired music and extraordinary performers.

Unusually we’re playing just the one piece for our season ending concert this year, but what a piece of music it is — Haydn’s Creation!

“The Creation” is an oratorio written by Joseph Haydn in 1797 and 1798, and considered by many to be one of his masterpieces. It depicts and celebrates the creation of the world as narrated in the Book of Genesis and is scored for soprano, tenor and bass soloists, chorus and orchestra. Altogether this musical feast is around 2 hours long.

Joseph Haydn’s »Creation« can be described as the most important oratorio of the Classical period. Together with George Frideric Handel’s oratorios, it had an impact right up to the High Romantic period. The three-part work sets the biblical account of the creation of the world to music in a tremendous wealth of colour, depicting a paradisiacal world with an impressive abundance of life. The choir responds to the narrative with songs of praise, of which »Die Himmel erzählen« has become one of the most popular vocal works.

While concertos often reveal the immense talent of the soloist they are intended for, the Concentus Musicus Wien can now count on the virtuoso breath of David Guerrier on trumpet and horn in this delightful program. Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 3 is followed by an exuberant and concise masterpiece, Haydn's Trumpet Concerto.

When Mozart referred to Joseph Haydn as the "father, guide, and friend" of his string quartets, he was alluding to the great model of the Quartets Op. 33, which were printed at the end of 1781 and with which Haydn had ushered in a new era for the genre. The six String Quartets Op. 33 are considered the beginning of Viennese Classicism; they are also called the "Russian Quartets" because of their dedication to Grand Duke Paul of Russia. At the beginning of Quartet No. 3, the first violin enters with a kind of bird call over pulsating C major chords, from which the nickname "Bird Quartet" derives.

During his visits to London between 1791 and 1795, Haydn found himself greatly inspired by the numerous performances of Handel’s works he attended. He was particularly moved by the grandeur of Messiah and Israel in Egypt which sparked his desire to create an oratorio of his own. Before Haydn returned to Vienna, violinist Johann Peter Salomon presented him with an anonymous English libretto which had supposedly been intended for Handel half a century earlier. The text – which draws from the Book of Genesis, John Milton’s epic Poem Paradise Lost (1667), and the Book of Psalms – resonated deeply with Haydn’s devout Catholic faith.

It’s as if Joseph Haydn had written a symphony about the Marschallin’s words: Der Rosenkavalier, an opera where a bourgeois family marries into the nobility, continues to resonate in today’s concert program. Following music from the court of the Sun King, we will hear Mozart's last piano concerto. Composed shortly after the outbreak of the French Revolution, its expressive world is already Romantic – and will be presented to us by Kristian Bezuidenhout, a master of historical performance practice.

In the beginning, God created heaven and earth ... and Haydn did the rest. With Die Schöpfung, his magnum opus, Haydn immortalised the creation story in music. The London-based Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment – renowned specialists in 18th-century masterpieces – revives this epic tale under the inspired baton of Václav Luks, a leading figure in historical performance practice. After their triumphant Beethoven programme at the Queen Elisabeth Hall in February 2025, they return to guide us from darkness to light, chaos to order. Haydn’s music evokes flowing waters, rustling leaves, and a vibrant menagerie, culminating in the splendour of the Garden of Eden. A profound human longing for clarity and hope resonates through this timeless masterpiece – a breathtaking musical journey of new beginnings.

Tempora mutantur — the nickname of Haydn’s Symphony No. 64 — takes its name from the Latin adage, “The times change, and we change with them.” Inspired by this reflection, Finnish conductor and violinist Pekka Kuusisto presents a dynamic program featuring former Mead Composer-in-Residence Anna Clyne’s Sound and Fury alongside folk- and dance-inspired works by Grieg and Rautavaara. Trading baton for bow, Kuusisto dazzles as soloist in Kreisler’s vibrant, Vivaldi-inspired Violin Concerto.

A friendship developed between Joseph Joachim, the celebrated violinist, and Johannes Brahms, the quintessential composer, characterized by both artistic admiration and critical tension. Joachim, immediately captivated by Brahms's music, soon became his most important confidant and interpreter. Their letters reveal a complex interplay of admiration, loyalty, and sometimes wounded pride—a delicate web of mutual respect and high expectations. However, from 1884 onward, the friendship between Johannes Brahms and Joseph Joachim was no longer as untroubled as in its early years, for Brahms had sided with Joachim's wife in their divorce proceedings, and since then, the once warm relationship had cooled—marked by expressions and gestures of reserve, coupled with the quiet pride of two artists. Now, however, Brahms's "Double Concerto" for violin and cello was intended to be a sign of reconciliation—a musical dialogue that sought to bridge the gap between them.

Joseph Haydn's oratorio The Seasons was written shortly after the first successful performances of its sister work, The Creation. The two works have a close spiritual relationship. While The Creation depicts the creation of the world in the course of the Genesis account, The Seasons is about the existence of the world in the course of the year, about the experience of divine creation in the cyclical growth and decay of nature.

Step into the charm and vibrancy of two of Europe’s most iconic cities – Paris and London. From elegant salons to bustling boulevards, this program captures the essence of each metropolis through vivid and inventive works. Francis Poulenc’s witty and urbane Sextet bursts with Parisian flair, while Darius Milhaud’s La création du monde blends jazz and classical idioms in a bold, rhythmically charged vision of the world’s beginning, inspired by African mythology and the energy of 1920s Paris. Balancing the French exuberance is Haydn’s London Trio No. 3, a piece that is piece is elegant, buoyant, and full of wit, which he composed during his visits to England.

Sarasota Orchestra closes its season with a program of works that left the door open for more. No one is certain why Schubert never finished his Eighth Symphony, but the two movements that he did compose remain among his most beloved. Julia Perry’s Short Piece for Orchestra was the first work by a woman of color to be performed by the New York Philharmonic; Perry’s life and career were cut short at age 55. In his Symphony No. 45, Haydn sent a not-so subtle message to his employer that the orchestra was ready for a break. This symphony has delighted audiences for over 250 years and concludes our 76th season with a chuckle as each musician exits the stage in a dramatic send-off.

When Ton Koopman plays the organ, anything is possible. Expect the highest level of ornamentation, verve and imagination, and fingers so nimble you wouldn't expect from a musician who's just turned 80. And what else can you expect? Magnificent music by Handel and Haydn, Koopman's secret star. "In Holland, Haydn is much more popular than Mozart because he's creative and witty," says Ton Koopman, the early music specialist both on the keyboard and on the conductor's podium. Haydn is also more difficult to play; you have to practice properly. "But it's beautiful music, and we have to promote Haydn. He deserves it!" Thus, his Symphony No. 80 is on the program, a work of the greatest wit, at times bizarrely humorous, always full of contrasts – a typical Koopman symphony. In this "Baroque+" program, the ever-so-sharp Dutchman contrasts Haydn with Handel: Handel's concertos are also virtuosic and original – and, with Ton Koopman at the organ, of a truly special, agile quality.

Khatia Buniatishvili is famous for her highly emotional playing and for fully illuminating the inner dramas of the works she interprets. The program of her concert with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields provides the perfect setting for this. Even the opening works by Jean Sibelius, his famous "Valse triste" and the ethereal "Scene with Cranes," are taken from incidental music. Joseph Haydn's Farewell Symphony tells its own unique drama: the resourceful composer supposedly conceived the work specifically to subtly hint to his employer that the orchestra musicians would like to finally take a vacation. And there's no doubt that the solo concerts of the brilliant opera composer Mozart also contain a fair amount of drama.
