Beethoven & American Masters: George Walker & Beethoven’s Second Symphony


  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Concert Hall 2700 F Street Northwest Washington, DC, 20566 United States (map)

Performances: May 24 & 25 @7pm

Beethoven’s Second marks a new boldness in the composer’s work. It bristles with intensity, pushing harmonic boundaries with energy, comedy, and rebellious bravado. Noseda pairs this dramatic piece with two of Beethoven’s most famous overtures and George Walker’s Sinfonia No. 2, a mysterious and hopeful masterwork.
