ASO: Beethoven Project – Symphonies 2 & 5
$36-$140
- Nathalie Stutzmann, conductor
Ludwig van Beethoven — Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67
It’s a Beethoven Festival! This time, Music Director Nathalie Stutzmann and the acclaimed Atlanta Symphony Orchestra show opposite sides of this watershed composer: Beethoven the tempest and Beethoven the humorist. It's hard to argue with the enduring popularity of the stormy Fifth Symphony; it grabs you by the collar and keeps you riveted from start to finish. But the same composer, that scowling, hotheaded genius portrayed in 19th-century paintings, imbued his Second Symphony with genial wit and good cheer. Savor the lesser-known Second Symphony side by side with the rocket-fueled Fifth. And leave the concert hall with a tune in your heart.
Runs Jan. 30-Feb. 1.
