Mendelssohn, Haydn and Bartók

Season 2017/2018
Date has passed
1 h 10 min

Felix Mendelssohn began studying the piano and music theory as a child, and started composing as well. He wrote String Symphony No. 10 in B minor in his early teens! The father of the string quartet, Joseph Haydn, wrote his Violin Concerto No. 1 in C major in the 1760s while a full-time conductor and court composer, and we can actually sense the life at court in the dance-friendly and courteous music. Divertimento for Strings was written in 1939, commissioned by Bartók’s patron Paul Sacher, over the course of two intensive weeks, and is an entertaining and hot-headed piece.

After the concert ’Mendelssohn, Haydn and Bartók’ we invite you to a free extra concert. No ticket needed.

Program:
STRAUSS: Serenade in E-flat major Op.7
W A MOZART Gran Partita
