The Festival offers a fascinating array of the music of Joseph Haydn and his contemporaries, performed in St Mary’s Church, built by the great 18th century engineer Thomas Telford in 1792, set next to the spectacular remains of the Castle and overlooking the river Severn.

Total Print Solutions 01902 798 700 www.lionfpg.co.uk Proud printers of the Haydn Festival leaflet. Joseph Haydn was born into an age of inventions and new ideas, and through his own creativity became the first great master of the “classical” style. In the late 1750s he began composing symphonies, and by 1761 he had composed a triptych (Morning, Noon, and Evening) solidly in the contemporary mode. Haydn spent much of his career, from 1761 onwards, as a court musician for the wealthy Esterházy family at their remote estate. Until the later part of his life, this isolated him from other composers and trends in music so that he was, as he put it, "forced to become original". As vice-Kapellmeister and later Kapellmeister, his output expanded: he composed over forty symphonies in the 1760s alone. While his fame grew, as his orchestra expanded, his compositions were copied and disseminated, and his music circulated widely, so for much of his career he was the most celebrated composer in Europe. Haydn reached a place in music that set him above all other composers except perhaps the Baroque era's George Frideric Handel. Haydn took existing ideas, and radically altered how they functioned. His contributions to musical form have earned him the titles "father of the symphony" and "father of the string quartet". While some scholars suggest that Haydn was overshadowed by Mozart and Beethoven, it would be difficult to overstate Haydn's centrality to the new style, and therefore to the future of Western music as a whole.

Bridgnorth is a hill-town, a rarity in England. It stands high above theriver Severn, its High Town and Low Town connected by a funicularrailway. The skyline is dramatically broken by the two church towers ofSt Leonard rebuilt in 1862, and St Mary Magdalene, the parish church,where the English Haydn Festival is held.
The old market town has a wealth of beautiful, interesting and historicbuildings; the Castle boasts a leaning tower, just as Cromwell left it.Bridgnorth is the northern terminus of the celebrated Severn Valley SteamRailway.
Beyond Bridgnorth lies all the beauty, the wild country and the literaryand historic fascination of Shropshire, at its very best in late spring.
The Revd. Preb. Simon Cawdell is warmly thanked for making the useof St Mary’s Church available to the Festival.
The English Haydn Festival gratefully acknowledges financial supportfrom:
