Beethoven & Schumann presented by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra tickets
About Beethoven & Schumann
Chief Conductor Simone Young leads a program that proves inspiration can come from unexpected places.
Beethoven was in the midst of a deep depression in the early 1800s, despondent about his worsening deafness. Yet out of that came his two Romances for violin and orchestra: delicate, sweet and lyrical. Associate Concertmaster Harry Bennetts steps into the spotlight for these glowing works.
Schumann wrestled with demons his whole life, but his Third Symphony sees him in an ebullient mood, inspired by the grandeur of the River Rhine and Cologne Cathedral.
And inspired by the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death, German composer Jens Joneleit takes fragments and sketches of his music to imagine something new, yet incredibly familiar.
