In this illuminating program, we celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven as the heir to Franz Joseph Haydn. Having studied with Haydn in Vienna, Beethoven absorbed the elegance and structural clarity of the Classical style, then transformed it with his own bold voice. Across a vibrant tapestry of Beethoven’s orchestral masterpieces, we trace Haydn’s influence in his craft while hearing the dramatic power and expressive depth that propelled the symphony into a new era.
