Classical concert featuring Mozart, Haydn, and 18th-century festive music by Concerto Copenhagen.
Concerto Copenhagen Haydn Project – Eine Kleine Festmusik: performed by Concerto Copenhagen, Lars Ulrik Mortensen (Director) playing Mozart: Eine kleine Nachtmusik K525; Druschetzky: Quintetto; M. Haydn: Divertimento MH518; Mozart: Ganz kleine Nachtmusik K648; Myslivecek: Divertimento No 1; J. Haydn: Divertimento Hob II:20 at St Mary's Kirk, Haddington on Fri 18 Sept 7.30pm as part of the Lammermuir Festival. Concerto Copenhagen end their residency with a typically imaginative excursion through 18th-century 'festive' music composed for the entertainment of the nobility. Popularly known as 'Nachtmusik', it had to be quirky, ear-catching and excitingly virtuosic to keep aristocratic revellers listening late into the night. Mozart and Haydn, of course, were past masters of this genre. Some talented but less famous composers are also included here, as is an extraordinary novelty - Mozart's Ganz kleine Nachtmusik K648, discovered in Leipzig only two years ago!
