Locke The Tempest: Curtain Theme
Beethoven Symphony No.2
About this performance
Beethoven's Second Symphony, with its dramatic opening and light-speed strings, has one foot in the classical era, and one in the romantic. With its captivating melodies and good cheer, it’s hard to contemplate that while writing this, Beethoven’s deafness was becoming more profound, and he was in the darkest moments of his life.
Conductor Chad Kelly guides this journey from darkness to light, complemented by C.P.E Bach’s vibrant Sinfonia and Locke’s atmospheric Tempest theme – a perfect showcase of musical evolution across three distinct voices.
