Annapolis Symphony Orchestra presents Masterworks VI

Join the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra for the final performance of Season 62!

Masterworks VI This Midnight Hour

J. Haydn Symphony No. 104 in D Major “London”

Anna Clyne This Midnight Hour

Sibelius Symphony No. 2 in D major op. 43

This Midnight Hour revisits themes presented earlier in the ASO's Season 62: identity, freedom, community, and connection to our homeland.

Franz Joseph Haydn spent most of his life in a rural area on the Austria-Hungary border, making music for nobility but hoping for recognition as an important composer. He found this respect in England, a land that deeply appreciated his music and where he composed twelve symphonies, all immensely successful.

Anna Clyne, writing nearly 250 years after Haydn, is a composer from the United Kingdom who’s worked as composer-in-residence across Europe and America and now lives in New York, brings forth the terroir of a moment and place in her This Midnight Hour.

Sibelius composed music that spoke to freedom, independence and cultural preservation, unintentionally becoming widely regarded as his country’s greatest composer. His music is often credited with helping Finland develop a national identity during its struggle for independence from Russia. Join us for the last of our Masterworks performances, one that is sure to surprise, delight, and move you!
