BRATTLEBORO—The Windham Philharmonic performs on Monday, April 1, at 7 pm at the Latchis Theatre. Hugh Keelan, music director, conducts Haydn’s “Surprise” Symphony and Stravinsky’s “Divertimento” from “The Fairy’s Kiss.”
Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 made its debut in 1792, with Haydn’s aim being to give the public something new and exciting. Stravinsky’s Divertimento is a suite of four movements arranged from his ballet, The Fairy’s Kiss (Le Baiser de la fée). He wrote it in homage to his predecessor Tchaikovsky, for whom he had deep admiration.
