HAYDN Symphony No. 99
Isabelle Faust and Alan Gilbert return for Stravinsky’s bracing, wry Violin Concerto, a work at the core of his sparkling and witty neoclassical period. Bracketing Stravinsky’s concerto are two Joseph Haydn works from early and late in his symphonic career, during which he largely created the foundations for the 18th-century Viennese Classical era.
Friday afternoon’s concert is generously supported by the Grossman Family in memory of Jerome H. Grossman, MD.
Saturday evening’s concert is generously supported by Jim Aisner, in memory of his wife, Virginia Simpson Aisner.
Saturday evening’s performance by Isabelle Faust is generously supported by Lloyd Axelrod, M.D.
Pre-concert Talk
