Handel + Haydn Society Presents: Haydn in Plain Sight
Jordan Hall
$20 and up
In-Person Event
Open to the Public
When do we lead, when do we follow, and how do we work together?
Knowing when to lead, when to follow, and when to act together can be a game changer. With “technique to burn” (The Australian), cello soloist Nicolas Altstaedt takes the lead and the H+H Orchestra follows and responds in cello concertos by Haydn and C.P.E. Bach. Haydn’s Farewell Symphony takes this idea in an unexpected direction: at its premiere, musicians followed one another off the stage to express their shared desire to return home, a tradition H+H will recreate. C.P.E. Bach’s Sinfonia in E-flat showcases collaboration throughout as individual instruments contribute to a larger whole. Hear how stepping forward, making room, and working together can change what becomes possible.
