BRAHMS MEETS HAYDN

February 25, 2022 7:30 PM - 8:45 PM Qatar National Convention Centre, Auditorium 3

This concert promises an evening of Brahms, including Haydn Variations and Symphony No. 2 in D Major. Haydn Variations was written in 1873 and is a testimony to Brahms’ mastery of the technique of variation. The variations are based on a simple theme that was thought to be of Joseph Haydn’s composition at the time, though we now know this attribution was incorrect. Brahms’ Symphony No. 2 in D Major is one of the most cheerful of his mature works, and its happy nature could be because it was composed during a summer holiday in 1877 while living on the shores of an Austrian lake.

 

Please note that attendees will be only admitted if they are fully vaccinated. There will be no intermission.

BEETHOVEN’S EROICA

February 21, 2022 7:30 PM - 8:45 PM Katara Cultural Village, Opera House

The Qatar Philharmonic presents a concert featuring two of Beethoven’s best dramatic works; Leonore Overture No. 3 and Symphony No. 3 in E Flat Major “Eroica Symphony”. Fidelio, originally titled Leonore, is Beethoven’s only opera. Beethoven produced four versions of the overture to Fidelio, though Leonore Overture No. 3 is regarded as the most powerful and theatrical of the overtures. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, also known as Eroica Symphony due to its supposed heroic nature, premiered in 1805 and was greater and more intense than customary symphonies at the time. The piece is one of Beethoven’s chiefly instrumental works, and is regarded as a turning point in musical history as it marks the beginning of Beethoven’s second period in his career.
