Haydn’s London Connection
Join the Australian Haydn Ensemble (AHE) for the third 2026 series of 18th Century Unpacked—our interactive lecture recitals designed to deepen your connection with our main stage touring programs.
Journey into the world of Haydn in the late 18th century as we explore what led to him being awarded an honorary doctorate from Oxford University and other influences on his London Symphonies.
Presented by a special guest Genevieve Lang and with performances by the renowned AHE Quartet, this event traces Haydn’s journey to London and explores the changes in his relatively isolated world at Esterházy to world famous composer in London.
Join fellow music lovers for a relaxed and illuminating event in the glorious surrounds of the Friends Room at the State Library of New South Wales.
