Rebellious, entrepreneurial and hugely famous – maybe not how we’d describe composer Joseph Haydn today, but he really was all these things, with his Cello Concerto, which ripped up the musical rule-book of the day, demonstrating all of this. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 starts out mysterious, brooding and dark but by the end he, and we, are having a right laugh, in a bubbly joyous ending. László Lajtha’s music starts the night – music that’s immediately appealing and dead beautiful.

Tickets – £5.00 to £53.00
