Talk & Tea: Haydn

The Performance

Join us for a captivating talk on the life and work of one of the most influential composers of the Classical era at Talk & Tea: Haydn. Delve into the genius of Joseph Haydn, often referred to as the “Father of the Symphony” for his innovations in symphonic form and enduring influence on generations of composers. Catch a special look at the HPO’s rehearsal of Haydn’s celebrated ‘Surprise’ Symphony, a favourite in HPO history! 

Hosted by Composer-in-Residence Abigail Richardson-Schulte, the HPO’s Talk & Tea Series takes audiences behind the music and composers featured on our Mainstage with special insights into the orchestra’s rehearsal process.
