The evening’s program will include the rapturous Joseph Haydn’s “Symphony No. 92,” which is more popularly known as the “Oxford Symphony.” Even though it was written for a performance in Paris, the symphony received its name after a performance where Haydn was awarded an honorary doctorate by Oxford University it 1791. The performance will also consist of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Symphony No. 38” which is his beloved “Prague Symphony.” Mozart is said to have created this piece to reflect his gratitude for the people of Bohemia, who had high esteem for his work.
