Joseph Haydn’s “Drumroll symphony”, was one of the famous London Symphonies. Hear the music that the royalties’ favourite wrote on the peak of his carreer. 

The evening also presents Stravinsky’s playful ballet, Jeu de Cartes! Stravinsky loved to play cards. And in both the ballet and the music, the joker plays the lead role, leveraging his ability to transform into any card. 

This card game in three rounds concludes with Ravel’s La Valse, a tribute to the waltz, which he called a “choreographed poem”. Filled with humour and irony, this rich, dramatic music is disarming, brilliant and entirely open to interpretation. 

Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra is led by chief conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali.
