Recreation – Haydn fun

Experience the beauty of nature in the music of Joseph Haydn and Giovanni Bottesini. In the concert "Recreation – A Haydn Fun," the Orchester Recreation conducted by Wolfgang Redik presents two outstanding works by Joseph Haydn: Symphony No. 6 in D major "Le Matin" and Symphony No. 59 in A major. These symphonies are characterized by vibrant and lively depictions of nature – from the gentle sounds of a sunrise to the dramatic scenes of a wildfire. Haydn had a unique gift for musically capturing the sounds of nature, and these works are among his finest examples of that.

Additionally, the young Viennese double bassist Dominik Wagner will be featured in Giovanni Bottesini's challenging Double Bass Concerto No. 2 in B minor, a work that tests the technical skill and musicality of the soloist. An evening full of virtuosic highlights, romantic images of nature, and musical passion.

Tickets are available at the Styriarte ticket office. For more information and tickets: +43 316 825000 or online

The concert will take place on Monday, March 16, 2026, in two performances: at 6:00 PM and at 8:00 PM. A brief introduction by director Mathis Huber will begin 20 minutes before the concert starts, allowing the audience to tune in to the experience.

A highlight for classical music fans and music lovers alike: This concert invites you to enjoy the magic of Vivaldi's music in the Styrian cultural metropolis of Graz. The Graz experience region provides the perfect backdrop for this special evening – a moment of musical beauty amidst Styria.
