About the concert

Haydn was over 60 when he wrote the Piano Trio in F-sharp minor and the Sonata in C major. Both works come from the years he conquered London, but there are no triumphant fanfares here. Instead, we find a composer playing in the shadows, still surprising himself, and us.

The concert opens with Sally Beamish's "Trance" from 2023, a work that listens back to the master and shows how far his seeds have spread.
