ULSTER ORCHESTRA 2017/8 SEASON: TWO COURSE LUNCH

Haydn Symphony No. 6 Le Matin

Wagner Prelude & Liebestod: Tristan und Isolde

Rafael Payare CONDUCTOR

Haydn’s answer to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons? It’s possible; his patron, Prince Esterhazy, had a penchant for programme music and Symphony No.6 is the first of three symphonies named after times of the day, brim-full of opportunities for solo instruments to shine. To accompany, Wagner’s most powerful expression of love, torment and loss, the opening and closing of his opera Tristan und Isolde.
