HCMC Opera House

From the organizer:

HBSO proudly presents an exclusive “HAYDN & BRAHMS NIGHT SHOW”, which will take place at 8 pm, June 19 at the HCMC Opera House. The concert will bring on stage high quality performances from HBSO Symphony Orchestra under bandmaster HONNA TETSUJI and oboe guest Hoang Manh Lam.

Franz Joseph Haydn was a prominent and prolific Austrian composer of the Classical period. He was instrumental in the development of chamber music such as the piano trio and his contributions to musical form have earned him the epithets “Father of the Symphony” and “Father of the String Quartet”.

Born in Hamburg, Germany, on May 7, 1833, Brahms was the great master of symphonic and sonata style in the second half of the 19th century. He can be considered as the protagonist of the Classical tradition of Joseph Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.

The most famous works of the two greatest composers: Brahms’s Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68, and the Theme and Variations by Haydn/Salzedo will be featured in the concert.
