March 8 & 13 – ORCHESTRA SEATS ONLY

What if you were hearing Beethoven's symphonies for the very first time? What if all their brash vigor, passionate joy and raw pathos sounded new, bold, and unlike anything you'd ever heard before? You might call it modern; you'd certainly call it unforgettable.

In this three-week Beethoven festival, Conductor David Zinman leads the New York Philharmonic in his "exhilarating" (Gramophone magazine) approach to the Beethoven's masterpieces, recreating Beethoven's original vision for his symphonies.

The pairing of the symphonies with three 20th-century concertos — featuring soloists Peter Serkin, Alisa Weilerstein, and Gil Shaham — each show the hand of Beethoven guiding composers long after his death.

Symphony Nos. 1 and 3

In this festival finale, the Philharmonic performs a pair of Beethoven's symphonies including the immortal Eroica.
Combined with Hartmann's poignant Concerto funèbre, which was also penned during a period of imminent war, these symphonies capture all the drama and pathos in which Beethoven was so virtuosic in conveying.

The Concerto features violinist Gil Shaham whose “innate musicality and beautiful, expressive tone, which can glow like bronze and shimmer like gold.” (Strings Magazine)
