Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 1 in C major, Op. 21
Luigi Cherubini
Overture to Faniska
This programme brings together four composers linked by a remarkable moment in musical history. In 1805, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven and the young Carl Maria von Weber were all present at the premiere of Cherubini’s opera Faniska — a meeting point between the Classical world and the emerging Romantic imagination.
From Haydn’s sparkling theatrical wit to Beethoven’s revolutionary First Symphony and Cherubini’s dramatic operatic energy, the programme traces a vibrant musical landscape shaped by friendship, admiration and artistic influence across early nineteenth-century Europe. Weber’s brilliant and deeply expressive Konzertstück will be performed by the talented Morley student pianist Svyatoslav Antipov, while the Morley Chamber Orchestra is conducted by Charles Peebles, continuing the rich orchestral tradition of Morley College London.
