Early Music New York to Return to Live Performances With Free Concert

Early Music New York (EM/NY) will celebrate its return to live performance with a free concert, a gesture of thanks to its loyal subscribers and patrons. A classical orchestra of 19 players will perform a program entitled "A Family Affair," with works by Mozart, Haydn, Mozart and Haydn - brothers, in the case of the Haydns; and father and son (the Mozarts). The performance will take place Saturday, October 30 at 7:30 PM at the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Manhattan's Lincoln Square neighborhood.
"Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart have come to epitomize music's classical era, but many other composers - including others named Haydn and Mozart! - made valuable contributions to the repertoire," states Frederick Renz, Director of EM/NY. "Hearing an early Mozart symphony alongside a mature work by Michael Haydn - who knew both Mozarts in Salzburg well before his brother Joseph befriended Wolfgang in Vienna - provides a fascinating perspective on how all these composers, operating in the same orbit, developed distinct musical identities."
