About Listen to This: Discover Beethoven
Listen to This is an evening of musical discovery like no other, hosted by Conductor in Residence Benjamin Northey.
Part performance, part guided tour, this unique event offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Beethoven’s music works.
Few figures have had a greater influence on the world, and especially on music, than Ludwig van Beethoven. He expanded the emotional canvas available to composers, writing bigger and grander and more impactful music than anyone had before – and that very few have attempted since.
In this concert led by Conductor in Residence Benjamin Northey, discover some of what made Beethoven so special through an investigation of his Seventh Symphony. Beethoven himself considered this one of his best works, and it’s not hard to see why. With irrepressible rhythms, solemn beauty and breathtaking dynamics, this is music that aims to make an impact – and it delivers.
Held at the Sydney Opera House, with no interval and a dynamic, engaging format, Listen to This is designed for curious minds – whether you’re discovering classical music for the very first time, or finding out what makes your favourite pieces tick.
