Symphony, so what? is the name of another event you can enjoy with us. This time it addresses the form which is perhaps the most compelling part of classical music, and that is the symphony. What is actually a symphony? How and when did it originate? Why is the symphony the most basic musical form? How did Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven compose symphonies? And what about their younger colleagues? Taking the examples of the most significant composers of their time and their works, such as “The Fate”, “From The New World” or Tchaikovsky’s Fourth, we will try to answer all of these questions.
