“As the Ensemble enters the orbit of its 10th year, we are delighted to present a season inspired by the elements and an 18th century perspective on the universe.”

Discovery of all kinds is one of the hallmarks of the Enlightenment; it was the spirit of the Age and with it came an explosion of ideas, imagination and, of course, extraordinary music. This is the music we bring to you in 2022.

Heroic, celestial, expansive and above all things, beautiful.

Our 2022 AHE Live Series includes five signature programs with subscriber concerts in Sydney, Canberra, the Southern Highlands and Berry, and individual performances throughout regional NSW. We are pleased to partner with Melbourne Digital Concert Hall to bring you live streamed performances in your own home. And remember - our beautiful creative concert films are available all year round on our digital platform AHE Player.

We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming you back to the concert hall in 2022, our 10th anniversary year.

I hope you can join us for a year of incredible music.

AHE 2022 Beethoven’s Eroica AUGUST

C.P.E. Bach: Universe of Harmony DECEMBER

Haydn Speaks OCTOBER

Join us for our 10 year anniversary season to celebrate a decade of enlightened music making 1761 was the year when our namesake entered the Esterházy court and began composing for Europe’s best orchestra.

It was also the year of the first transit of Venus since Halley had realised it provided the key to knowledge about our place in the cosmos. In science and music, minds were ablaze, and to that we owe the celestial theme of our 2022 brochure.

In March we make our exciting debut appearance at the Adelaide Festival with Haydn’s Solar Poetics. Three stunning concerts with keyboardist Erin Helyard, will follow the sun across one day, featuring the Morning, Noon and Night symphonies, all from 1761.

There’ll also be contemporaneous music

by C.P.E. Bach, the 5-year-old Mozart, and the indefatigable Dr. Helyard will perform all three authorised keyboard concerti of Haydn.

To open our own series, Mozart: Viennese Star, lets you eavesdrop on a stellar string quartet of 1782 featuring Haydn himself on violin and a young Mozart on viola.

We will perform the repertoire they sightread, namely Haydn’s brilliant Op. 33 quartet (How do you do?) and Boccherini’s Op. 32 No. 5. The centrepiece is Mozart’s amazing Dissonance quartet, written in honour of his new mentor.

In April we turn 10 and we’re celebrating with something extraordinary.

In association with Canberra International Music Festival, we are joined by Sydney Chamber Choir to present the Australian period-instrument premiere of Haydn’s monumental oratorio The Creation, conducted by musical firebrand Roland Peelman.

In August, we invite you to imagine how now well-loved masterworks were first discovered in the homes of the early 19th century. We present Masi’s septet version of Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony and Cimador’s similar adaptation of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40.

In October we go a step further and share the stage with the man himself in Haydn Speaks. This collaborative performance with the incomparable John Bell features Haydn’s genial ghost recounting his remarkable life in amusing and sometimes poignant detail. We will be on our mettle in his presence!

Our anniversary year concludes with guest keyboardist Chad Kelly (UK) directing a string orchestra and keyboard tribute to one of the most original musical minds of the enlightenment, C.P.E. Bach. The program features Emanuel’s delightfully strange Cello Concerto in A major and his brilliant G major Symphony.

It also includes Benda's stunning F minor Keyboard Concerto and an occasionally downright silly suite, nicknamed La Bizarre, by his avuncular godfather Telemann.

ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN HAYDN ENSEMBLE

In 2022 the Australian Haydn Ensemble (AHE) enters its 10th year as a recognised Australian period instrument ensemble of excellence. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Skye McIntosh, nationally and internationally-lauded musicians bring historically-inspired performances to life.

AHE has garnered a well-earned reputation for engaging audiences with imaginative programming, vibrant performances and enlightening workshops.

This world-class ensemble performs at festivals, tours regularly throughout regional NSW, and presents its highly successful subscription series in Sydney, Canberra and other regional centres.

In 2022 the Ensemble will present five subscription concert tours, make its Adelaide Festival and Canberra International Music Festival debuts, perform at a number of other unique regional NSW festivals and will release its second orchestral album on ABC Classic.

HAYDN’S SOLAR POETICS MORNING, NOON & NIGHT Artistic Directors Neil Armfield and Rachel Healy invited AHE to be part of the main program of the Adelaide Festival in 2022. We couldn’t have been more delighted to accept!

The top minds of Europe were abuzz in 1761. Venus was transiting the sun for the first time since science had worked out that it could pinpoint our place in the solar system.

Meanwhile, the most enlightened of Austria’s ruling families needed a composer to provide music for their pre-eminent orchestra. It was a dream gig in some respects: yes, you had to wear servants’ livery but you got to live in a palace.

Your bosses were no fools though - they could spot hackery a mile off - and even scarier were the musicians’ demands.

The 29-year-old Joseph Haydn was not only up for it, he kept the job for over 30 years, producing music of astonishing quality and quantity. The so-called Morning, Noon and Night symphonies were the first of some 80 that were written for the Esterházy band.

AHE, directed from the keyboard by Dr Erin Helyard, will present them in three concerts, appropriately spread across a single day. We will also offer a glimpse of what else was going on in that eventful year. Bach’s eldest son (C.P.E.) was writing jaw-droppingly audacious symphonies, while in Salzburg a five-year-old wunderkind was jotting down his first piano pieces.

All too rarely heard Haydn keyboard concertos and works by the teenaged Mozart make these programs a delicious brunch, lunch and dinner degustation.

LIVE PERFORMANCE DATES

In 1782, at age 25, Mozart decided it was time for his star to shine. Shrugging off his stultifying patron and the boring city of his father, he had set himself up in the music capital of the world, won “Viennese Idol” as keyboard virtuoso, fallen in love, written a risqué smash hit opera set in a harem, and was filling his set-lists with brand new piano concerti for himself to play to adoring fans. Somehow, he found time to lend his viola talents to an eminent but amateur string quartet with a certain Joseph Haydn on first.

CANBERRA Thursday 10 February, 7pm Wesley Music Centre, Forrest BERRY Friday 11 February, 7pm Berry School of Arts SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS Saturday 12 February, 4pm Burrawang School of Arts SYDNEY Sunday 13 February, 5pm Utzon Room, Sydney Opera House LIVE STREAM Thursday 17 February, 8pm Melbourne Digital Concert Hall

This proved to be more than the start of a beautiful friendship.

Reading through Haydn’s newly composed set of six Op. 33 quartets left a deep impression on the younger composer and over the next three years he resolved to dedicate a set of his own to his mentor. The six ‘Haydn Quartets’ were all of great personal significance to Mozart. In the beautiful dedication page, he calls them his children and modestly entrusts them, with all their “faults”, to Joseph’s benign paternal care. It goes without saying that Haydn found nothing to correct in this sublime tribute.

The last of them, the famous Dissonance quartet, with its startlingly original adagio opening, is the gravitational centre of this concert, in which you’ll also hear the fifth of Haydn’s Op. 33 How do you do? and the contemporaneous fifth of Boccherini’s Op. 32 quartets. Dating from his time in Spain, the latter displays all the vibrant colours we have come to love in Boccherini, including a spectacularly virtuosic violin capriccio in the finale.

Haydn’s object lesson in the form he pioneered, encapsulates the clever, funny, and beautiful nature that so obviously won the heart of Vienna’s star ascendant.

“AND THERE WAS LIGHT”

HAYDN’S CREATION

ARTISTS CONDUCTOR Roland Peelman LEAD VIOLIN Skye McIntosh SOPRANO Alexandra Oomans TENOR Andrew Goodwin BASS James Ioelu CHOIR Sydney Chamber Choir PROGRAM HAYDN The Creation (Die Schöpfung) LIVE PERFORMANCE DATES CANBERRA (CIMF) Friday 29 April, 7.30pm* Fitters' Workshop Saturday 30 April, 7.30pm* Fitters' Workshop SYDNEY Sunday 1 May, 5pm City Recital Hall LIVE STREAM Friday 29 April, 7.30pm Melbourne Digital Concert Hall

Presented in partnership with the Canberra International Music Festival, and in collaboration with Sydney Chamber Choir, AHE celebrates a special 10 year anniversary project with Haydn’s magnum opus.

Two hundred and twenty-four years (to the day!) after its private premiere, the Ensemble, Sydney Chamber Choir and three superb soloists will unite under the guest direction of Roland Peelman to perform The Creation (Die Schöpfung) as its first audience heard it.

This majestic oratorio, with its libretto drawn from the Books of Genesis and Psalms, with Milton’s Paradise Lost thrown in for good measure, has always been one of the composer’s most popular works, and in many ways represents the summit of his craft. His transition from a musical depiction of nothingness to the choir’s blazing “And there was light” is one of the great moments in music, and enough to raise the hair of believers and cosmologists alike. The Big Bang is a hard act to follow, but Haydn effortlessly nails it, sustaining over a hundred minutes of orchestral tone painting, monumental choruses and lilting arias.

Alexandra Oomans (soprano) and Andrew Goodwin (tenor), familiar to Sydney and Canberra audiences, are joined by exciting NZ bass-baritone James Ioelu. Together they take on the formidable roles of archangels and (fully clothed) Adam and Eve. Haydn felt himself destined to take on the cosmic drama after hearing, in 1791, a London performance of Handel’s Messiah by forces of over a thousand. Die Schöpfung’s first public outing in 1799 mustered a 60 strong choir and a Mahlerian band of 120!

But, apart from the opportunity to relive the Schwarzenberg Palace premiere without the mandatory noble lineage, there’s much to enjoy in the transparency of counterpoint and lively tempi afforded by this concert’s version.

Back in 1798, thirty police had to disperse the huge crowd of commoners who had gathered in the square outside hoping to catch distant strains of the new masterpiece, so book now before word gets around the village pump.

* These concerts are presented as part of the Canberra International Music Festival

THREE REVOLUTIONARY SYMPHONIES IN CHAMBER FORM

BEETHOVEN’S EROICA

The great G minor ‘middle panel’ of Mozart’s final symphonic triptych was completed in July 1788. A month earlier, in Grenoble, troops opened fire on several hundred bread rioters in what some view as the beginning of the French Revolution.

Ten days later in Paris an even bigger mob ransacked mansions and factories and was mercilessly gunned down.

It may be fanciful to attribute the 40th’s ominous agitation to Europe’s approaching boiling point, but there’s no doubting it’s a ‘revolutionary’ work. The famous “atonal” passage in the finale and the deliberate jolts and unbalanced phrasing in the first movement attest to that. But its affecting and honest melancholy puts it in that small subset of Mozart’s works that seem to expose the composer’s soul.

Fellow Austrian Paul Wranitzky’s compositions were far from sniffed at by either of the bigger names on this program.

The first movement of his strangely titled Grande sinfonie caractéristique pour la paix avec la République françoise (La Paix), a musical depiction of the Revolution proper, premiered in 1797 when the blood was scarcely dry on the reign of terror’s guillotine. It’s a stormy rip-roaring piece, oddly peppered with heroic English, Prussian and Austrian marches to keep his aristocratic patrons happy.

Which was something Beethoven, of course, steadfastly avoided doing. His 3rd symphony of 1804 is not only a whitehot paeon to Napoleon, but its dedication was famously withdrawn when the general fell short of the composer’s radical liberal ideals. This miraculous piece, which smashes symphonic conventions with joyful abandon, will be performed in Masi’s passionate reinvention for septet.

Such arrangements of big new works for smaller forces helped music-lovers of the pre-recording era to experience them ‘up close’ and musicians learn them from the ‘inside’.

Modern respect for orchestration as a key element of composition has led to a view that they shrink the music’s impact, but when you hear these familiar symphonies played by only seven musicians, you’ll find that the opposite can be true.

Just as the mass of a giant star increases as it grows smaller, these intimate renditions of familiar major works will surprise you with their intensity.

JOHN BELL TELLS THE STORY OF THE RISE OF A GREAT COMPOSER

HAYDN SPEAKS True (and some tall) tales of the great composer’s life are revealed when his ghost meets the Ensemble that bears his name.

In the face of his prodigious output of consistently fine music, it’s easy to take Haydn for granted. We enjoy triumph over adversity, struggle, unjust neglect, and lives cut tragically short, none of which he suffered.

But the story of how a boy with a good voice, one of twelve children born to a poor wheelwright and his wife, became the toast of Vienna, then London, then the known world, and how fame never swelled his clever head, makes the plot of Slumdog Millionaire look commonplace.

Iconic Australian actor John Bell is nearing “Papa” status himself. Who better to personify the spirit of this extraordinary humble Joe in a new musical/theatrical/ biographical entertainment by young playwright Rachel McDonald?

Concerts illustrated with a smattering of letters are nothing new. This evening goes much deeper and has to, because Haydn was too busy writing music to bother with many letters. In fact after he died, a burgeoning French novelist pen-named Stendhal, invented some on his behalf. Fake news. Beautifully written, but fake nonetheless.

McDonald skilfully weaves historically confirmed sources, real letters and such romantic re-imaginings into a piece that allows the ever-present, selfdeprecating and funny Haydn to recount his life, comment on his posthumous reputation and poignantly reveal some bedroom secrets.

Oh yes, and to re-encounter and admire some of his greatest work, as performed with impeccable eighteenth-century finesse by AHE. You will hear it afresh too, through the ears of its creator.

A unique and unmissable event.

C.P.E. BACH: UNIVERSE OF HARMONY Discover rich and strange new musical worlds in this superlunary concert featuring Guest Director Chad Kelly.

Universal Harmony, the Music of the Spheres. Pythagoras thought you just had to listen hard enough. Kepler, like Shakespeare, thought it could only be perceived by the immortal soul.

The concept survived the Age of Reason, fascinating the English mathematician Robert Smith and in turn prompting a career rethink for composer William Herschel: In 1781, twenty years after writing the Sinfonia which opens this intriguing program, he found himself staring at a new planet through the lens of his beautiful DIY telescope.

Discovering Uranus, four moons and infrared radiation has relegated Herschel’s musical achievements to a footnote on his CV, but as a young man he was a sought-after talent.

Charles Avison, the erudite Novocastrian composer, chose him to AVISON/SCARLATTI lead his orchestra, where he may well have soloed in the charming Garden of Harmony, which Avison adapted from Domenico Concerto Grosso No. 3 in D minor Scarlatti’s keyboard sonatas.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the genius of Bach’s second son Emmanuel was exploding like a supernova, sweeping aside Baroque intricacy and ushering in a new age of streamlined music. The Enlightenment hero’s imagination, though, as you’ll hear, sometimes seems to summon those monsters born of the sleep of reason. The slow movement of his Cello Concerto in A, draws you down into inky depths before shocking you with a delicious gust of fresh air in the finale (which will greet ABC Classic listeners like an old friend).

Such kaleidoscopic shifts of emotion, also evident in his Sinfonias, are more what you’d expect from Berlioz.

Telemann, a good friend of his dad’s, was still going strong when his godson was dabbling in such dark arts. The old guard figurehead could also be surprisingly ‘Avant’. His outlandish orchestral suite La Bizarre (one of the estimated 600 he composed) can be enjoyed as a lively toe tapping affair, but it also brims with composer in-jokes and is at times laugh-out-loud funny.

Formidable UK keyboardist Chad Kelly has worked closely with the likes of Rachel Podger, Trevor Pinnock and John Eliot Gardiner.

He joins us as Guest Director and struts his stuff in a concerto by C.P.E.’s contemporary Georg Benda. This program of heavenly music from changing times is a perfect way to see out the old year and ring in the new.
