Oregon Symphony: Beethoven's Eighth Symphony

• Kerson Leong, violin
• Kristiina Poska, conductor

Benjamin Britten — Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, Op. 33a
Felix Mendelssohn — Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 (Kerson Leong, violin)
Ludwig van Beethoven — Symphony No. 8 in F major, Op. 93

A testament to Beethoven’s sly wit, the Eighth Symphony finds the revolutionary composer transforming beloved 18th-century dance forms with new dramatic possibilities. And violinist Kerson Leong displays his "clear and powerful” playing (PAN M 360) in Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto, a brilliant, dazzling showpiece for the instrument.

Runs Apr. 27-29.
