Overview
Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony No. 3, “Heroic”
Dmitri Shostakovich, Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 35
Reena Esmail, Testament (from Vishwas)
Conducted by Timothy Myers
Beethoven’s stirring Symphony No. 3, “Heroic,” marked a decisive turn from the Classical to Romantic period, truly groundbreaking in both form and approach. This ambitious program also features Shostakovich’s sparkling Piano Concerto No. 1, performed by internationally celebrated pianist (and Festival favorite) Inon Barnatan, and Reena Esmail’s Testament (from Vishwas), which showcases the dexterous weaving of Indian and Western classical music we can expect from this year’s chamber music composer-in-residence.
