The London symphonies, sometimes called the Salomon symphonies after Johann Peter Salomon who introduced London to Joseph Haydn, were composed by Joseph Haydn between 1791 and 1795. They can be categorized into two groups: Symphonies Nos. 93–98, which were composed during Haydn's first visit to London, and Surprise Symphony is one of most famous work composed in London and other works were composed after visited London.

---------------------------------------------------
Auckland Sinfonietta, based in the North Shore, was founded in 2016 by Dr Jucheol Wang who is the musical director. The goals of the Sinfonietta are to promote orchestral repertoire and variety of music and present it to local audiences.

It also seeks to nurture and present music of different ethnicities in an effort to promote multiculturalism and therefore enrich our society’s tastes and appreciation. By doing this it aims to establish a niche in the Auckland orchestral scene that is currently not filled by the other orchestral bodies in Auckland.

The mission of the Auckland Sinfonietta Trust is to use music and the performing arts as a means of facilitating communication between various ethnic groups and to use these arts to promote relationships between Eastern and Western cultures in New Zealand and overseas.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
