Zilkha Hall, The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts

Lifelong friends Joseph Haydn and Marianne Martines helped each other realize their respective dreams: he was her first music teacher, and she later connected him with influential figures in Viennese society. This program explores this famous friendship with a Classical era sampler that includes a symphony, a concerto, a cantata, and selected songs. We’re delighted to welcome back fortepianist Patricia Garcia Gil and countertenor Key’mon Murrah, two Ars Lyrica audience favorites from recent seasons.

Featured artists:
Patricia Garcia Gil, fortepiano
Key’mon Murrah, countertenor

On the program:
Joseph Haydn, Symphony No. 63 in C Major and selected songs
Marianna Martines, Concerto in A Major and Amor timido
