Past meets present in this captivating program led by Jonathon Heyward. Explore Beethoven in a new light with Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht, a meditation on nature and the environment written in dialogue with Beethoven’s Fifth and Sixth symphonies and commissioned for the 250th anniversary of his birth. Discover the relatively unknown music of Louise Farrenc, with her powerful Overture No. 1, written in 1834 and inspired by the Viennese classicism of Beethoven. Hear the titan himself with Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony and his famed “Triple Concerto,” featuring soloists from the orchestra, concertmaster Ruggero Allifranchini and principal cellist Ilya Finkelshteyn, alongside pianist Leonora Armellini.
