Beethoven's Eighth | The Australian Haydn Ensemble

When

Sunday 3 November 2024 from 7pm to 9:15pm

Cost

Starting from: $25

The AHE performs an arrangement of Beethoven's Eighth - his beautiful tribute to Haydn -in an arrangement for just seven players, made in Beethoven's own era.

Join us on Monday 3 November at 7pm for an exhilarating experience – tickets start at $25 for Seniors Card holders.

In a time before recordings or radio, these arrangements were the way music was heard – and now, you can hear just such an arrangement, as close as we know to the way it was played in Beethoven's own time, on instruments of the period. Hear this masterful composer in a whole new way - along with works by his friend and student Ferdinand Ries, Boccherini and a world premiere of a new work by Australian composer Ella Macens.

  • "It was a marvellous performance by the seven instrumentalists which did more than ample justice to Beethoven in this powerful rendition". Sounds Like Sydney, July 2024

  • "The playing was dynamic, exciting, edge of the seat stuff" – Audience member, Beethoven's Seventh, 2023.

  • "★★★★1/2 “Australian Haydn Ensemble’s magnificent seven nail a stripped back Beethoven classic.” – Limelight, Beethoven's Seventh, 2023
