Masterworks III

Description: Masterworks III celebrates the two greatest composers of the Classical Era.  Haydn—whose 104 symphonies continually defined, and redefined, the genre for both his contemporaries and generations of composers that came after—and Mozart whose short life produced some of the most remarkable and breathtakingly beautiful music written.  We’ll feature Haydn’s 90th symphony which blends exquisite craftsmanship with his famous sense of hilarity, and Mozart’s fresh and spontaneous 36th Symphony which was written in  just four days. In between, music by Haydn’s successor at the Esterhazy court, Hummel. We’ll feature his groundbreaking and virtuoso trumpet concerto—a work written for the progenitor of the modern trumpet.
