From Haydn to Schubert - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Cast

Conductor Marzena Diakun

Piano Szymon Nehring
with the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria

In his most famous symphonic fragment, the "Unfinished" in B minor, Franz Schubert formulated the basic features of Romanticism more compellingly than anyone else. Before the interval, Polish conductor Marzena Diakun devotes herself entirely to Viennese classical music: the soloist, her compatriot Szymon Nehring, has chosen the Piano Concerto K. 271 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was only proven in 2003 that it was written for the Strasbourg-born virtuoso Victoire Jenamy. The addition "Oxford" to Joseph Haydn's 92nd Symphony goes back to its performance in the university city, where the composer was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1791. In it, Haydn proves that he knows how to entertain the scholars just as splendidly as the laymen.

Introductory talk one hour before the concert begins.
