Haydn’s Morning, Noon and Evening Symphonies with Jonathan Cohen

Jonathan Cohen

January 25-27, 2019

Artistic Partner Jonathan Cohen led the SPCO musicians through an exploration of three of Haydn’s earliest symphonies. The spectacular sunrise-evoking introduction to the Sixth Symphony earned it the Morning nickname. Even though the relation between the Seventh and Eighth symphonies and their respective nicknames is less apparent, these three symphonies are linked as the first pieces of music Haydn wrote for his most notable employer, Prince Esterházy. In an attempt to impress Esterházy and his new musician colleagues, all three symphonies include virtuosic solo lines for principal players throughout the orchestra.
