Beethoven: Mastery in Motion traces the creative force of a composer whose music reshaped the symphonic tradition. Fiercely independent and unmistakably original, Beethoven wrote with clarity, conviction, and dramatic power that continues to resonate today.
The program opens with the intense Coriolanus Overture, followed by Symphony No. 1, a work that reveals the bold voice of a young composer pushing the boundaries of classical form. The evening concludes with the monumental Piano Concerto No. 5, often called the “Emperor,” performed by pianist Maxim Lando.
Confident, expansive, and thrilling in scale, the concerto brings the program to a powerful close.
