Unlike Mozart and Beethoven, Haydn spent most of his life working for one powerful, generous man: Prince Esterházy of Hungary. Upon the Prince’s death, Haydn was free to find new opportunities – and new friends – abroad. Amidst his London successes, Haydn found time to write his Sinfonia concertante, a lively showcase for the composer and several of his pals. Witness the beginning of a beautiful friendship when the new Oregon Bach Festival artistic director Matthew Hallsleads the Orchestra in his California debut, while four superbly talented LACO principals recreate Haydn’s most companionable work. The evening’s program includes:
Matthew Halls, conductor Margaret Batjer, violin Andrew Shulman, cello Allan Vogel, oboe Kenneth Munday, bassoon
MOZART – Ballet Music from Idomeneo HAYDN – Sinfonia concertante in B-flat major AARON JAY KERNIS – Musica Celestis BEETHOVEN – Symphony No. 1 in C major
