The Symphony existed before Franz Josef Haydn, but it was he who formed how we experience it.  He composed an astonishing 104 Symphonies, with the “Drum Roll” one of his final masterworks in the form.  The Orchestra’s Jeannette Jang plays Haydn’s joyful Violin Concerto in C. This Haydn pairing bookends the energized Zoom! of Shawn Okpebholo, one of America’s collective of powerful, young musical voices known as The Blacknificent 7. Stay for a post-concert talk back with the musicians!
