Mozart & Haydn
Masters of the Symphony
Celebrate the Classical masters of the symphony with Principal Guest Conductor Donald Runnicles leading an energetic program of charisma and joy.
If Haydn is the father of the symphony, Mozart took the form to new and unimagined heights.
In this program, the connection between the composers emerges as a scintillating conversation led by Donald Runnicles, our Principal Guest Conductor.
Meticulous in expression, Haydn’s Symphony No.88 brims with charm, elegance and humour. It’s brilliant and daring. Mozart’s Symphony No.39, the first of his celebrated final three symphonies, shares the same sense of daring on an even grander scale. This symphony is infused with Mozart’s characteristic imagination, energy and joy – evidence of the bright, lasting mark of Haydn’s influence.
