Join the Australian Haydn Ensemble (AHE) and Artistic Director Skye McIntosh as they present one of the world’s greatest forte-pianists, Melvyn Tan, in a program inspired by the beauty and romance of classical Paris.

Melvyn Tan, a pioneer of performance on historical instruments is renowned for his ‘silvery virtuosity’.  Exploration, insight and imagination are vital ingredients in Melvyn Tan’s blend of artistic attributes.

Tan will perform the Mozart concerto No.18 in B flat major, written for the Parisian pianist, Maria Theresa von Paradis.

The Ensemble will also present the Australian premiere of a symphony by Chevalier de Saint-Georges, the legendary African Parisian violinist, director, swordsman, soldier and composer, known as The Black Mozart.

As well as being a highly regarded composer, Saint-Georges was also responsible for the commission of Haydn’s highly acclaimed Paris Symphonies.

In its full orchestral configuration the AHE  will perform one of these great symphonies, No. 85 The Queen (La Reine), said to be so nicknamed as it was the favourite of the then doomed Queen, Marie Antoinette.

This exciting next concert by the Australian Haydn Ensemble will take place at 7 pm on Saturday July 1 at the City Recital Hall, Angel Place.
