Beethoven and Haydn in Finchley

Seventh symphony and Harmoniemesse

Add to my Calendar 12-07-2025 19:30 12-07-2025 21:30 36 Beethoven and Haydn in Finchley Finchley’s choir and orchestra come together again to round off their seasons.  The programme consists of two masterpieces by composers at the height of their powers. Beethoven’s seventh symphony pulsates with energy; Wagner described it as the “apotheosis of dance”.  An oasis of calm is provided by the well-known Allegretto which begins with the same note 13 played times! The ‘Harmoniemesse’, so-called because its orchestra employs unusually large wind and brass forces, was Haydn’s last major work.  The 70-year old composer displays all his musical mastery in a variety of forms and styles. Trinity Church Centre, London DD/MM/YYYY
