The Symphonia Presents Final Concert of The Season, ‘Seeking Haydn’

The Symphonia, South Florida’s premier chamber orchestra, will present its final concert of its ‘Journey to Discovery’ earth and environment themed season with ‘Seeking Haydn.’ The concert will take place on Saturday, April 13^th at 7p.m. at Countess de Hoernle Theatre at Spanish River High School.

Principal Conductor Alastair Willis will guide you to the world of eighteenth-century Austria, as seen through the eyes of Joseph Haydn’s musical assistant at the Esterhazy Palace. Explore – through Willis’ dramatized perspective – what it was like living and working at the palace with Haydn for the Esterhazy family.

In addition to his role at the Symphonia, Willis is a Grammy- nominated conductor who also serves as the Music Director of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. He has guest conducted countless orchestras around the world including the Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic, and Hong Kong Sinfonietta. His recording of Ravel’s “L’Enfant et les Sortileges” with Nashville Symphony and Opera for Naxos was Grammy-nominated for Best Classical Album in 2009.

Season subscriptions start at $175 per person.  Information on subscriptions, flex-subscriptions and programs is available at thesymphonia.org, by calling 561-376-3848, or by emailing tickets@thesymphonia.org.
