Haydn's visit to England in 1791 saw him celebrated as some sort of musical superstar. While he was here he received an honorary doctorate form Oxford university, and a series of concerts were put on in his honour. This is a recreation of one such concert, and includes one of his most popular Symphonies, the Oxford, full of broad flowing melodies and topped off with an effervescent finale.

Queen Elizabeth Hall at 6.15pm: OAE Extras. Pre-concert event. Admission free.
