Beethoven's Fifth
Fri Mar 19 · 7:30pm / Sat Mar 20 · 3pm
Jean-Marie Zeitouni conducts the Fifth Symphony two hundred years after Beethoven's death. The orchestra plays it on gut strings and valveless brass, a balance quite different from the one the modern symphony orchestra has standardised. Zeitouni conducts, and the programme is built around the symphony rather than pairing it with a concerto.
