BEETHOVEN, MOZART + THE BEAR

Overview

End the 2024–25 Season on a high note with three showstopping surprises—music from the back catalogs of much-loved composers that just might become your new favorites. Kristian Bezuidenhout, known worldwide as one of today’s most exciting fortepianists, opens with Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4; Gramophone calls his recording “one of the finest, most deeply perceptive and thrilling performances of [the piece] on record.” Next, incidental music from Mozart tells a stirring story of power, betrayal, and revenge. And finally, Jonathan Cohen takes you to the carnival with a Haydn symphony nicknamed for dancing bears: ferocious majesty meets unexpected delight.
