SUMMARY:Beethoven in Retrospect I
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Michael Stern\, conductor\nClayton Stephenson\, piano \nBEETHOVEN Incidental Music from Egmont\nBEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No. 4 \nBeethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto is one of his most poetic creations\, intimate in spirit yet quietly revolutionary. Michael Stern and pianist Clayton Stephenson bring it to life alongside incidental music from Egmont\, where Beethoven’s dramatic instincts and sense of purpose come through clearly. This concert opens the two weekend journey with a feeling of discovery. You hear a composer balancing elegance with boldness and expanding what music can express. It is a deeply satisfying entry point for the cycle\, rewarding for longtime Beethoven listeners and welcoming for anyone returning to this music after some time away.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_raw_html css=””]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]JoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nNikki Chooi\, violin\nRoman Mekinulov\, cello\nMichael Davidman\, piano \nBEETHOVEN  Triple Concerto in C major\nBEETHOVEN  Symphony No. 7 \nEnd the journey with music that feels like pure momentum. Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony is rhythm driven\, joyful\, and famously unshakeable once it takes off. Before it\, Beethoven’s Triple Concerto brings three soloists into the spotlight\, violinist Nikki Chooi\, cellist Roman Mekinulov\, and pianist Michael Davidman\, creating a vibrant conversation between soloists and orchestra. The pairing makes an ideal finale\, collaborative and uplifting\, then propelled into the symphonic surge of the Seventh. This concert sends you out with energy and a sense of shared release.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_raw_html css=””]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwZGF0YS10ZXN0aWQlM0QlMjJlbWJlZC1pZnJhbWUlMjIlMjBzdHlsZSUzRCUyMmJvcmRlci1yYWRpdXMlM0ExMnB4JTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZvcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tJTJGZW1iZWQlMkZwbGF5bGlzdCUyRjdNaUxOQUNGY3Y3RmtocHV0cHNoZUElM0Z1dG1fc291cmNlJTNEZ2VuZXJhdG9yJTIyJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjIxMDAlMjUlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjI0MDAlMjIlMjBmcmFtZUJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4lM0QlMjIlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlJTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTNCJTIwZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGxvYWRpbmclM0QlMjJsYXp5JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
