Please arrive at the Performing Arts Center by 1:15 pm to gather in the Pavilion to meet and learn from a noted expert on the music to be performed during the concert. Gain an enhanced understanding of the context of the music and an in-depth look at the piece and the history behind the music.
Beyond the Notes: “Haydn, the Enlightened Co-Creator” presented by Michael E. Ruhling, PhD
Haydn described his compositional process as beginning with prayer and continuing as a divinely-inspired creative activity. Explore his Enlightenment perspective of human co-creativity in the greatest creative act of all—Creation itself.
Michael E. Ruhling is Professor of Performing Arts in the College of Liberal Arts at the Rochester (NY) Institute of Technology, and is a Senior Associate Faculty in Musicology at the Eastman School of Music. He is the author of Johann Peter Salomon’s Scores of Four Haydn Symphonies: Edition with Commentary, and his essay on the symphonies of Michael Haydn is included in The Symphonic Repertoire, Vol. 1: The Eighteenth Century Symphony.
