ALL-BEETHOVEN program
Symphony No. 6, Pastoral
-Intermission-
Symphony No. 7
Beethoven conceived his Pastoral Symphony, No. 6, as an illustration of a lovely day spent in the countryside, where we encounter babbling brooks, birds of various sorts, friendly country dwellers, and a brief, tumultuous storm. His Seventh Symphony has long been one of his most popular works—especially its solemn Allegretto, which had such an effect at its premiere that it was immediately encored.
Saturday evening’s performance is generously supported by Seán Rush and Carol C. McMullen.
Tuesday evening’s concert is generously supported by Tom Kuo and Alexandra DeLaite.
