Beethoven's Fifth

About this event

A journey to beginnings. In ARCHORA, Anna Thorvaldsdóttir seeks the origins of life in music shaped by primordial forces. Katherine Balch’s violin concerto Artifacts is a fond tribute to the friendship between the composer and the DSO Concertmaster Robyn Bollinger. Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony grows a compelling world from the smallest musical seed. | Join us for a pre-concert talk 1 hour before most performances. Pre-concert Talk Join us one hour prior to most classical performances for a 30-minute pre-concert talk. Pre-concert talks are an opportunity for conductors, musicians, and other experts to share more about the music and enhance your connection to the evening's program. You will get a glimpse into the composer's inspiration, the story behind a work, what to look for in a soloist's performance, and more! With a deeper understanding of the music, your symphony experience will be more engaging and even more memorable. Please note, our pre-concert talks are scheduled for every PVS Classical Series performance, except Friday morning Coffee Concerts.
