About the Australian Haydn Ensemble

Formed in 2012, the Australian Haydn Ensemble (AHE) burst onto the Australian music scene with passion and energy. It has performed all over Australian and in the USA and have enjoyed many invitations to Australia, as well as enjoying many invitations to Australian festivals such as the Adelaide Festival, the Canberra International Music Festival, the Melbourne Festival, and many others.

Under the direction of Artistic Director and violinist Skye McIntosh, AHE a leading historically informed orchestra. AHE brings together world-class musicians who excel in both modern and period instrument performance and are highly committed to both historical research and performance. The group’s repertoire is principally music of the late Baroque and early classical eras. The ensemble’s name pays tribute to the great “Papa Haydn,” who was a central figure of late 18th century music in Europe.

AHE has built a reputation for its vibrant and accessible performances, which are faithful to the sound-worlds that would have been familiar to Haydn and his contemporaries. AHE has received critical acclaim for its début recording on ABC Classics, The Haydn Album, which premiered at No. 1 on the Australian Classical Aria Charts. Gramophone magazine hailed them as “a polished, style-conscious ensemble.”
