Recreation – Haydn fun

Experience the beauty of nature in the music of Joseph Haydn and Giovanni Bottesini. In the concert “Recreation – A Haydn Fun,” the Orchester Recreation conducted by Wolfgang Redik presents two outstanding works by Joseph Haydn: Symphony No. 6 in D major “Le Matin” and Symphony No. 59 in A major. These symphonies are characterized by lively and vivid representations of nature – from the gentle sounds of a sunrise to dramatic scenes of a fire. Haydn had a unique gift for musically capturing the sounds of nature, and these works are among his finest examples of that.

Additionally, the young Viennese double bassist Dominik Wagner will perform in Giovanni Bottesini's challenging Double Bass Concerto No. 2 in B minor, a work that tests the technical skill and musicality of the soloist. An evening full of virtuosic highlights, romantic depictions of nature, and musical passion.

The concert takes place on March 16, 2026, at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Tickets are available at the Styriarte box office. For more information and tickets: +43 316 825000 or online
