Haydn’s Symphony No. 86

A sonic feast of different textures and moods — there's something for everyone on this program that samples music from the 18th to the 21st centuries. Though named after a characteristically light and free-spirited symphony by Joseph Haydn, you'll also get to hear a high-energy double concerto between two violins cascading over each other in an Escheresque climb, a quintet for woodwinds that seems to bend the very air the players breathe, and an ethereal meditation for string orchestra.
