As the great master of the Classical era of music, Haydn’s influence can’t be overstated. He was a champion of Mozart, a teacher of Beethoven. An incredibly prolific composer, he virtually created the symphony as we know it today. This all-Haydn concert features acclaimed pianist Marc-André Hamelin, who “has established himself as the thinking man’s virtuoso, and virtuosity is his main hallmark. The exuberance with which he plunged into the classical repertory evoked something ebullient, delighted, and filled with breathtaking energy,” says theWashington Post. Cleveland Orchestra horn players Richard King and Jesse McCormick are featured in a brilliant concerto for two horns.
