Midday Mini-Concert: Festival Brass

City Park Gazebo

Widely regarded as Europe’s greatest living composer at the end of the 18th century, Joseph Haydn was at the height of his popularity when he visited London twice in the 1790s to thunderous acclaim. For the occasions, Haydn composed 12 symphonies that delighted enthusiastic English audiences. Katharina Wincor conducts Symphony No. 101, nicknamed “The Clock,” because of its ticking pizzicato pulse in the second movement. Joseph Leutgeb, considered the finest hornist of his day in Vienna, inspired both Haydn and Wolfgang Mozart to compose for him. Leutgeb premiered Mozart’s noble, richly orchestrated Horn Concerto No. 3, which TPS principal hornist Gabriel Kovach will perform as soloist. Rounding out the program is a movement from Mozart’s “Gran Partita” Serenade No. 10 for 12 winds and double bass; and a movement from Felix Mendelssohn’s Sinfonia No. 5. What’s remarkable about Mendelssohn’s String Symphony is, when he composed it, he was just 11 years old!
