Add to my Calendar 16-10-2023 19:30 16-10-2023 21:30 36 Australian Haydn Ensemble at Carnegie Hall “A jewel in the national period-instrument crown” - Limelight   The internationally noted Australian Haydn Ensemble, one of Australia’s leading orchestras specializing in historically informed performances, will make its American debut with a tour of seven concerts from October 12 to 21, 2023 on both the East and West Coasts. The program explores the 18th-century reflections on the times of day with a program of Haydn, Mozart, and J.C. Bach.   A highlight of the tour will be a performance Monday evening, October 16th, 7:30 p.m. EDT at New York’s Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall.  Chosen from among all of Australia’s musical ensembles, the AHE was selected to celebrate the grand opening of the new Australian Embassy in Washington DC, October 19th, with a program of both early Classical period and contemporary Australian compositions.    Founded in 2012, The Australian Haydn Ensemble burst onto the Australian music scene with unprecedented energy and passion. Under the direction of Artistic Director Skye McIntosh, the AHE brings together world-class musicians who excel in both modern and period instrument performance and are highly committed to both historical research and performance. The group’s repertoire consists principally of music of the late Baroque and early Classical era, and the ensemble has built a reputation for vibrant and accessible performances, which are faithful to the sound-worlds that would have been familiar to Haydn and his contemporaries. Gramophone Magazine called the AHE “a polished, style conscious ensemble,” December 2016 and, in a review by Sounds Like Sydney, the writer Shamishta de Soysa noted, “This elegant programme by the AHE was more than just music – it was a lesson rich in history as told in music. The playing, polished with an instinctive understanding of each other, was beautifully balanced, technically impressive and cohesive." February 17, 2020.    It has performed all over Australia, including the most important Australian festivals such as the Adelaide Festival (2022), and the Canberra International Music Festival (2022), the Melbourne Festival (2016).   AHE has received critical acclaim for its debut ABC Classics recording, The Haydn Album, which premiered at No. 1 on the Australian Classical Aria Charts. The Australian Haydn Ensemble has collaborated with many leading international and Australian historical specialist performers including Midori Seiler (GER), Melvyn Tan (UK), Marc Destrubé (CAN), Catherine MackIntosh (UK), Charles Neidich (USA), Stefanie True (CAN), Erin Helyard (Australia), Neal Peres Da Costa (Australia), Sara Macliver (Australia), Helen Sherman (UK) and David Greco (Australia).
