2009 will mark the 200th anniversary of the death of Joseph Haydn (1732-1809). His music and legacy will be celebrated around the world on this occasion. Haydn’s connections to Britain were varied. He came to London several times, and it is here that he composed some of his best-known works, including the Surprise, Military, Drumroll and London symphonies. Haydn also composed arrangements for nearly 400 Scottish songs. The Haydn 2009 anniversary will feature in concerts, some of which will be co-organised and supported by the Austrian Cultural Forum London, all over the UK.
