BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 5
Da-Da-Da-DUM. With its unmistakable four-note opening, Beethoven’s immortal Fifth Symphony has the most recognizable hook in all of classical music.

Renowned violinist Isaac Stern helped bring many up-and-comers into the spotlight, including Vadim Gluzman. Our guest violinist honors his mentor by performing two works Isaac Stern recorded — Prokofiev’s captivating Second Violin Concerto and Beethoven’s lovely Romance No. 2. Tickets from $25.
