Wien trifft Kiew

The Klassische Philharmonie Bonn presents highlights of Viennese classical music in its concerts in November. Joseph Haydn is regarded as one of the creators of the classical symphony, whose works were a model for generations of composers. His Symphony No. 92, composed in 1789, is a wonderful example of the fact that Haydn was already known and appreciated throughout Europe at the time: originally a commissioned work for the Parisian concert series of the "Loge Olympique", the symphony was given its nickname "Oxford" because it was performed in Oxford in 1791 when Haydn was awarded an honorary doctorate there. In addition to Joseph Haydn, one name should not be missing from the Viennese Classical period: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. With the Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola, we present one of his most outstanding works. This work, as well as the double concerto by Alexey Shor, will be performed by soloists Marc Bouchkov, winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition, and the exceptional violist David Aaron Carpenter. The musical journey ends on the threshold of Romanticism with Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 6, his "Little Symphony in C major".
