Biography & style
This performer centers on the Viennese Classical tradition, celebrating Haydn’s innovative formal ideas and dramatic contrasts. The work’s characteristic device—in which musicians exit the stage in the final movement, leaving two violins at the end—evokes a clever farewell that has fascinated audiences since the 1770s. Instrumentation typically includes two oboes, bassoon, two horns (in A, F-sharp, and E), and strings, with performances usually running about 25–27 minutes. By presenting a faithful yet thoughtful interpretation, the ensemble helps audiences grasp the wit, drama, and architectural clarity that define this era.
