Beethoven's Fifth | The Australian Haydn Ensemble
Sunday 30 June 2024 from 4pm to 7pm
Venue opens one hour before the concert
This premiere is unlike any Beethoven you've ever heard. Intense, thrilling and exhilarating, the AHE premiers an arrangement of the mighty Fifth Symphony for just seven players, made in Beethoven's own era.
Join us on Sunday 30 June at 4pm for an exhilarating afternoon – tickets start at $25 for Seniors Card holders.
In a time before recordings or radio, these arrangements are the way music was heard – and now, you can hear the premiere of just such an arrangement, just as it was played in Beethoven's own time, on instruments of the period. It's as close as you'll ever get to Beethoven.
