Cherubini’s Concert Overture is an exhilarating curtain raiser, capturing the energy and drama of opera. Mendelssohn’s popular Hebrides Overture “Fingal’s Cave” was inspired by the composer’s visit to a remote Scottish island. Beethoven’s Romance no. 2 in F features the lyrical melodies and virtuosity of Beethoven’s earlier works, with violin soloist Urara Mogi.
The program concludes with Beethoven's magnificent Third Symphony, "Eroica", a revolutionary work in its time, written at a major turning point in Beethoven's life and career as he dealt with his growing deafness. Into this music, Beethoven poured his passion, fury and anguish with a depth of musical expression that moves away from his roots in the classical and baroque styles and into the Romantic era.
Admission Free - All are welcome!
