Baltimore Symphony Orchestra: Grosvenor Performs Beethoven
Online: $9.99 | In person: $25-65
- Benjamin Grosvenor, piano
Ludwig van Beethoven — Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37
Dmitri Shostakovich — Symphony No. 15 in A major, Op. 141
Inspired by the dangerous conditions endured by young women who worked in match factories in the 1880s, Hannah Kendall's The Spark Catchers opens the program and is followed by a dramatic performance of Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto by master pianist Benjamin Grosvenor. To close, the orchestra performs Shostakovich’s enigmatic Symphony No. 15 for the very first time. A work that alludes to and quotes freely from the music of other composers, the shimmering final chords will leave you transfixed.
