Beethoven was regarded as one of the most widely recognized and admired composers of Western concert music. His symphonies were praised as “epic” and “originally masterful” by his contemporaries, and have been feted by generations as cornerstones of Western civilization.
There will be a pre-concert chat at 6:45pm.
