About the Artists
Formed in 2011, the Australian Haydn Ensemble, led by Artistic Director, Skye McIntosh, is now one of Australia’s leading historically informed orchestras and chamber music groups. These talented musicians performing on period instruments have built a reputation for vibrant performances, which are faithful to the sound-worlds that would have been familiar to Haydn and his contemporaries. The ensemble has its own highly regarded annual concert season; it tours nationally and has appeared at overseas venues and festivals. Its busy schedule includes recording, regional performances and educational projects.
The ensemble’s concert for Sydney Mozart Society showcases four of its exceptional musicians: Skye McIntosh (violin), Matthew Greco (violin), Karina Schmitz (viola) and Daniel Yeadon (cello).
