From Haydn to Beethoven

Cyprus : From Haydn to Beethoven

The Cyprus Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of the distinguished conductor Michalis Economou, welcomes you to enjoy two important symphonic creations by two great classical composers, Joseph Haydn (1732 – 1809) and Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827). You will hear Haydn’s last Symphony no. 104 in D major (“London”) and Beethoven’s 1st Symphony in C major op. 21. Written in the same period, they present a very interesting juxtaposition in the development of the symphonic tradition as well as excellent examples of the special musical idiosyncrasies of their composers. When Beethoven was in Vienna in 1792, he studied with Haydn. At the time, the young composer who was to leave a seminal legacy in the symphonic genre, had not yet written any of his symphonies, whilst Haydn, the creator of the classical symphony, had already composed as many as 98. Three years later, when Haydn was composing his last Symphony no. 104, Beethoven was making the first sketches for the finale of his 1st Symphony which was completed in 1800.

Two evening concerts will be given at 8:30pm on Friday 20 September 2013 at Pallas Theatre, Paphos Gate, Nicosia and Saturday 21 September 2013 at Larnaka Municipal Theatre. Tickets are available at the Theatres’ box office (Pallas Theatre, tel. 22 410181 from Thursday 19/9/13, 4-7μμ and Larnaka Municipal Theatre, tel. 24 665794 from Thursday 12/9/13) at €12 and €7 (18- 26 years old and pensioners).
