Hidden Haydn: Soloists from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, 26th April

Short, but nonetheless entertaining, the lunchtime series at St George’s, Bristol put on a show with the final of their Hidden Haydn concerts. The programme was designed to explore the lost and less frequently played works of Franz Joseph Haydn (1832-1809), with a couple of treats from less well-known composers thrown in.
