London and Vienna in the late 18th century were buzzing hives of musical activity, subject to frequent cross-pollination. London, Europe’s largest and most open city at the time, represents a particular vision for the composers on tonight’s program, many of them viewed through a Viennese lens. While Haydn’s trips to London are well documented, we invite you to join us for a deeper exploration of the musical exchange between the two cities.
The Gryphon Trio and Eybler Quartets (Wedman, Jordan, Gay) are fulfilling their Evolution: Quartet 2021 online mentoring sessions from Toronto. Eybler violinist Aisslinn Nosky and violinist Natalie Kress are joining from New York City.
