About the event

Australian Haydn Ensemble: Beethoven’s Eighth
This superb program revolves around the tantalizing enigma of the Immortal Beloved letters. AHE performs Beethoven unplugged, while young Sydney composer Ella Macens embraces baroque tuning with a new commission inspired by Ludwig’s passionate Declarations.

Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony is an utterly delightful homage to Haydn, full of wit and musical slapstick. Also on the bill, the remarkable rip-off that is the Fifth Symphony in D minor by Beethoven’s friend, pupil and long-suffering PA, Ferdinand Ries and one of the first-string sextets ever written, Boccherini’s Op. 23 No. 6 in F major. A sumptuous masterpiece that deserves classic status.

Celebrate the onset of balmy evenings with this heady musical fling.
