Program

To mark the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death, the season concludes
with two of Beethoven’s greatest works.

Composed in 1806, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto reflects the best of his
middle-period style. His only concerto for violin, it is widely regarded as
one of his finest achievements and remains one of the most beloved works
in the repertoire. Symphony No. 2 stands at the threshold between his early
Classical style and the broader musical language of his middle period.
Together, these works trace Beethoven’s path from inherited eighteenth-century models toward a new musical voice.
