The New Millennium Chamber Orchestra presents "Beethoven 250"
Music Director James Richard Frieman and The New Millennium Chamber Orchestra start off the Beethoven 250th Anniversary Year with a bang! Its a special all-Beethoven concert on February 22 and 23.
Featured on the program is the mighty Symphony No. 3, which was published in 1806 as the Sinfonia Eroica or Heroic Symphony. This celebrated work, while rooted in the tradition of the Classical-era symphony, really pushes the envelope in terms of formal structure, harmonic innovation, psychological reach, and...well, length. It marks a turning point in Beethovens style as he explores new expressive possibilities that herald the Romantic period.
This Beethoven 250 concert will also highlight concertmaster Colyn Fischer, playing the dazzling final Rondo movement from the Violin Concerto in D, the composers only concerto for the instrument.
Rounding out the program will be the magnificent Leonore Overture, No. 3, the best-known of the four (4) overtures that Beethoven composed for his only venture into the realm of opera, Fidelio; and the charming Andante in F for wind instruments, which was originally written to be played by an automated instrument, the mechanical organ.
Join us as we celebrate the beginning of Beethovens 250th anniversary in inimitable NMCO style at one of our two upcoming performances:
Saturday, February 22nd at 7:00 pm at Transfiguration Episcopal Church, 3900
Alameda de las Pulgas in San Mateo
Sunday, February 23rd at 4:00 pm at First Presbyterian Church of Palo Alto, 1140
Cowper St. in Palo Alto.
