Haydn’s Passion Symphony

Lyricism meets virtuosity.
Dramatic energy and radiant lyricism shape this vibrant program. Haydn’s La Passione sets the stage with brooding intensity before giving way to the expressive virtuosity of festival favorite Daniel Hawkins in Strauss’s luxurious Horn Concerto No. 2. The program comes to a brilliant close with Poulenc’s dazzling Sinfonietta. Each work sparkles with wit, charm, and irresistible melody.
Program:
FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN: Symphony No. 49, “La Passione”
