Haydn in Oxford
11 October 2024, 1:00pm - 2:00pm
The Holywell Music room has been host to performances of Haydn’s works since the early 1770s when the venue played an important part in popularising his music. Today we are transported back to the 18th century with sparkling performances of Haydn’s songs and chamber music. The Doric String Quartet, whose Haydn has been described as ‘one marvellous utterance followed by another’ (The Sunday Times), plays the Quartet, Op.20 No.4, while former Oxford Song Young Artist Angharad Rowlands and our Artistic Director Sholto Kynoch perform some of Haydn’s English songs.
