##### Mozart, Haydn & Mendelssohn.

**The Australian Haydn Ensemble makes its Melbourne debut.**

To set the spring tone, the concert opens with Haydn's chirpy and charming quartet Op.33 No.3, known as the _Bird_. Named after an unidentified avian, it features a spirited à la russe finale, a glowing and lovely Adagio and a second movement that's wild even by Haydn's standards!

It's hard to believe Mendelssohn was only 14 when he wrote his E-flat Quartet (MWV R18). Though rarely heard, it feels instantly familiar, especially its beautiful Adagio, and the sheer imagination and maturity are astonishing.

It's not known who christened it _Spring_ but Mozart's String Quartet No.14 K.387 is as fresh as its nickname suggests. All four players toss multiple tunes playfully at each other and, just when you think Mozart's hooks can't keep coming, he surprises you yet again.

A great way to discover AHE's signature verve, warmth and style.
