Sacramento Loves Beethoven!

February 18, 2012 ~ 8:00 PM

Each season we pack the concert hall in celebration of all-things-Beethoven! This year it’s his Grosse Fuge (Great Fugue), the most radical work by the most formidable composer in history, and the often overlooked Symphony No. 4., possibly neglected because it is cheerful, understandable and engaging! Young Concerto Competition Winner Eunghee Cho plays a work by Beethoven’s teacher, Haydn – Concerto No. 2 for Cello and Orchestra. And in the contemporary spirit of inspired innovation, we hear the West Coast premiere of Christopher Stark’s Promontories, a musical interpretation of three Ansel Adams photographs.
