About the Event
From the elegance of Haydn to the lyrical vitality of Dvořák, this program traces a fascinating path through the Classical and Romantic traditions, highlighting the enduring richness and versatility of the orchestral repertoire.
The evening opens with Joseph Haydn’s *Symphony No. 68 in B‐flat major*, a work that combines formal balance, inventive orchestral writing, and the wit that made Haydn one of the defining figures of the Classical era.
Brahms’s *Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn*, Op. 56a, follows, transforming a simple musical idea into a series of imaginative and richly characterized variations. One of the composer’s most accomplished orchestral works, it demonstrates both his mastery of form and his deep engagement with the musical past.
The program concludes with Antonín Dvořák’s *Symphony No. 8 in G major*, Op. 88, a work celebrated for its melodic abundance, vibrant rhythms, and luminous orchestration. Inspired by the landscapes and folk traditions of Bohemia, the symphony radiates warmth, optimism, and a profound connection to nature.
Conducted by Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, the concert brings together three composers whose music continues to captivate audiences through its elegance, imagination, and expressive power.
