This program commemorates the 250th anniversary of Handel's death with a suite from his Water Music. Haydn makes another appearance this season with one of his last symphonies, the so-called "Drum Roll". Prize-winning Conservatorium student Maxine Byrne will be heard in one of the finest French concertos for the flute, composed by Andrew Jolivet. Prokofiev's First Symphony is nicknamed "Classical" because of its early 20th Century resonances with Haydn - in fact it was one of the first 'new-classical' works in a twentieth century context - a truly sparkling finale for this concert.
