Program Notes
The Master and the Prodigy
Andrei Feher, conductor
Haydn: Symphony No. 83 in G minor, The Hen
Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 1 in C minor
Haydn’s lighthearted Symphony No. 83, The Hen, is full of winsome, outdoorsy melodies – a true treat for the brain and the ears from a composer at the height of his powers. Written when he was just 15 years old, Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 1 follows Haydn’s traditional symphonic sequence, and is filled with energy and drama.
Please note that currently all concerts in the 2020/21 Season will be presented online only. Concerts are recorded live at Centre In The Square and broadcast for you to enjoy in the comfort and safety of your home.
Le Maître et le Prodige
Andrei Feher, chef d’orchestre
Haydn: Symphonie no.83 en sol mineur, La Poule
Mendelssohn: Symphonie no.1 en do mineur
La joviale symphonie no.83 de Haydn, surnommée La Poule, est remplie de mélodies joyeuses et inspirées de la nature, un vrai plaisir pour la tête et les oreilles d’un compositeur au sommet de sa puissance. Composée alors qu’il n’avait que 15 ans, la symphonie no.1 de Mendelssohn suit la tradition symphonique de Haydn, et est pleine d’énergie et de drame.
