Join the Australian Haydn Ensemble (AHE) for 18th Century Unpacked and deepen your connection with AHE’s mainstage touring programs, or simply learn and enjoy. Your ticket includes a welcome glass on arrival.
Journey into the world of Haydn in the late 18th century as we explore what led to him being awarded an honorary doctorate from Oxford University and other influences on his London Symphonies.
Presented by special guest Genevieve Lang, with performances by the renowned AHE Quartet, this event traces Haydn’s journey to London and explores the changes from his relatively isolated and obscure world at the court in Esterházy to world fame and huge sold-out public concerts of his music in London.
Featuring performance excerpts of Haydn’s music, this hour-long program illuminates the life and work of an extraordinary composer whose influence remains potent to this day.
Come along to this lively and fascinating hour in the beautiful surrounds of the Friends Room at the State Library of New South Wales – a must for music lovers and history buffs alike.
