BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 1
Let’s set the musical world on fire. Beethoven did exactly that when he mixed Classical tradition with hints of his revolutionary voice in the first of nine symphonies. In his Haydn Variations, Brahms weaves a theme from the masterful Papa Haydn into his own plush, Romantic-era tapestry. Nancy Zhou, first-prize winner of the 2018 Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition, lends her virtuosity to Mendelssohn’s Concerto, hailed by the great Joseph Joachim as “the dearest of them all, the heart’s jewel.” Tickets from $25.
