The Met Will Be Good Haydn Place

Joseph Haydn was a friend of Mozart and a teacher of Beethoven. Like them, he was a great composer. The Spokane Symphony will end its chamber orchestra series at The Met with an (almost) all-Haydn program Sunday afternoon, to be repeated Tuesday evening.

The concert will features four first-chair soloists - oboist Keith Thomas, bassoonist Lynne Feller, violinist Kelly Farris and cellist John Marshall - in Haydn’s Sinfonia Concertante. The orchestra, led by Fabio Mechetti, will play Haydn’s Symphony No. 1 and his Symphony No. 45, “Farewell.”

Also on the program is the “Toy” Symphony, once believed to have been Haydn’s but now thought to be by … well, someone else. No one is completely sure who it might have been. , DataTimes
