Gala Concert “30 Years L’Orfeo Barockorchester”

Marianna von Martines Overture in C major
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Concerto for piano and orchestra No. 23 in A major K. 488
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Sinfonie in E minor Wq. 178 H. 653 “Berlin Symphony No. 3”
Joseph Haydn Symphony No. 104 in D major Hob. I:104 “London”

To celebrate our 30th anniversary we would like to bring a metropolitan flair to the Brucknerhaus in Linz. Apart from Haydn’s Symphony No. 104, composed in 1795 during his second visit to London, we also present Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s third “Berlin Symphony” which he composed while in service with Frederic the Great. The first half of the programme includes one of Mozart’s most famous piano concertos, composed in Vienna, preceded by an overture by Marianne von Martines, a pupil of Haydn’s in Vienna. This programme celebrates the First Viennese School and their predecessors, in a way circumscribing our own history.
