Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 | Virginia Symphony Orchestra
Date(s)
- October 27, 2016 | 8:00 pm
Philadelphia Orchestra Principal Bassoon (and VSO alum) Danny Matsukawa presents an unusual play/conduct—Mozart’s fiendishly challenging Bassoon Concerto. Beethoven’s Fifth is the most iconic of all symphonies, a “struggle to victory” that relentlessly hurtles from darkness to a jubilant, life-affirming close. Prokofiev’s ever-popular Classical Symphony rounds out the program.
