Handel and Haydn Society, Beethoven + Mozart

Our brilliant concertmaster solos in H+H’s premiere of Mozart’s youthful violin concerto, full of engaging melodies and grace. The bold tempos and dynamics of Beethoven’s First Symphony caused a stir in Vienna, and you’ll hear it as those surprised audiences did, sounding as vibrant and lively as on the day of its premiere. Opening the concert: H+H’s first ever performance of the spirited music of Marianna Martines, highly regarded in her times as a composer, keyboardist, and singer who was Haydn’s downstairs neighbor and part of Mozart’s musical circle.
