Haydn was the most famous composer of his day. By the time he visited London in 1791-95, he was a celebrity courted by the monarchy and his music was widely performed at concerts and in the home. This concert will look at the evolution of his style and explore the influence of the Enlightenment and the tumultuous social and cultural changes that were taken place in Europe during his lifetime. The concert traces the development of music from the high baroque through to the classical style. Works by Handel, Bach, Hadyn and Beethoven will be performed.
