COFFEE: FIFTHS OF BEETHOVEN

When do two “Fifths” make the whole world take notice? When they are Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony and Fifth Piano Concerto. Beethoven makes his piano solo part soar with freedom and brilliance but also shares the most tender nocturne in the sublime middle movement. “Beethoven’s Fifth” is called the most well-known music in the world and has even been sent to the universe as a sound sample on the Voyager probes of the 1970s. Don’t miss this monumental program. Teddy Abrams will play and conduct the concerto from the keyboard.
