A unusual perspective on music by the most unknown of “known’’ composers

Schumann: Nachtlied, op.108

Ravel: Daphnis & Chloé: Suite No.2

      Celebrating the 150th birthday of Ravel

Despite being one of the most famous composers, Joseph Haydn’s music is not nearly as widely known as one would expect. I designed The Haydn Experience II to enlighten and entertain audiences and orchestras with a fresh perspective on Haydn, presenting parts of nine different works, including movements from symphonies, oratorio, an opera overture, vocal canons, and even a work by his brother Michael.
