OVERVIEW

Be there to give a warm welcome to Markus Poschner in his first performances as Music Director Designate!

From the majestic opening chords that command attention to the triumphant finale that resonates with resolve, every note of Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony takes you on an epic journey of grandeur and drama, with musical innovation that lives up to its “heroic” name. Experience the dynamic interplay of melodies, the bold harmonies, and the intricate orchestration of a Beethoven masterpiece.
