Haydn Seek is a performance collaboration between New Resonance Orchestra and Goat in the Road, blending the worlds of classical music and physical theater.
New Resonance Orchestra, conducted by Francis Scully, performed eleven of the most audacious movements from the “theatrical” symphonies of Joseph Haydn (1732-1809). Under the direction of Darci Fulcher, Goat in the Road’s ensemble accompanied the music with a silent theatrical performance, bringing Haydn’s musical world to life in all of its anarchic glory.
