BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 36

What a sumptuous feast of beautiful sounds and ravishing orchestral virtuosity! The celebrated composer Anna Clyne’s Color Field opens the concert with a delicious imagining of what mixing yellow and red would sound like.

Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21, composed during his peak of creativity, is performed for us this season by the esteemed Spanish pianist Javier Perianes. Igor Stravinsky once said, Beethoven’s Second Symphony was his favorite of the nine. It’s easy to see why, with its amazing rhythmic drive, grandeur and sonority of sound. Hear the piece that unleashed a whole new storm of pulsing power which was soon to lead Beethoven to the Eroica Symphony and the Fifth. We heard it here first!

Come enjoy a pre-concert talk covering highlights and backstories of this program, one hour before concert-time.

Guest speaker for this weekend: Armando Pesqueira, Artistic and Music Director of Orquesta de Baja California.
