FATE COMES KNOCKING
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony stands apart as one of the most recognizable works ever written, and a live performance of the Fifth never fails to inspire. From the fateful opening hammer strokes to its rapturous finale, the music comes alive with an intensity that is impossible to ignore. Don’t miss this ultimate tale of triumph over tragedy — a musical celebration of humankind’s will to survive and overcome.

Inspired by one of Beethoven’s journal entries, Carlos Simon shares his own take on fate and its power over our lives in a brief musical musing.

Philadelphia Orchestra Concertmaster David Kim takes the stage for Scottish Fantasy, the virtuosic showpiece brimming with misty moods, tender melodies, and toe-tapping folk rhythms of Scotland.

NEW THIS SEASON: Pre-Concert Talks will be at the matinee and evening performances.
Join Musicologist Bradley Berg and Music Director Eric Garcia (and special guests) as they guide you through the music you are about to hear, providing an enlightening look at the repertoire and composers before the performance begins. Bring your questions! Please gather inside the concert hall by the stage.
