Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 5
It’s an evening of musical magic, drama, and destiny. Start with one of the most famous pieces in all of opera: a whimsical and sparkling piece of music of fantastical creatures, noble princes, and queens of the night. Then, Felix Mendelssohn’s rarely heard Concerto for Violin and Piano: a beautiful work where the violin and piano don’t just accompany each other—they are equal partners in a musical journey
We close the evening with a piece of music so famous it needs no introduction: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. From those four famous opening notes—the sound of fate knocking at the door—this symphony is a journey from struggle to triumph. It’s a testament to the indomitable human spirit and an experience you have to hear live to truly appreciate.
