Baroque & Classical Eras With Abigail Richardson-Schulte
Johann Sebastian Bach and Joseph Haydn stand as pillars of their respective eras—Bach in the Baroque and Haydn in the Classical—and are inextricably linked through their contributions to music and the fascinating parallels in their careers. HPO with Composer-in-Residence Abigail Richardson-Schulte shares captivating stories from the lives of Bach and Haydn and how their artistic contributions shaped music in society.
Through fascinating storytelling and piano demonstrations, Richardson-Schulte explores these towering figures of music history and celebrates HPO’s 140 years of history making music in Hamilton, which began in 1884 with a performance of Jospeh Haydn’s Surprise Symphony.
Presented in partnership with Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra
Award-winning composer Abigail Richardson-Schulte was born in Oxford, England, and moved to Canada as a child. Her music has been commissioned and performed by major orchestras, presenters, music festivals and broadcasters including the Festival Présences of Paris.
