On the heels of our return from Carnegie Hall, the Charleston Symphony invites you to a homecoming celebration concert featuring one of the most famous pieces of music ever composed.
Behold the brilliance in Beethoven’s groundbreaking 5th Symphony and the incredible prize-winning pianist Geoge Li performing Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1. The highly accomplished JoAnn Falletta, acclaimed by American Public Media as “a mighty figure on the global music scene,” returns to conduct the CSO.
Beethoven’s 5th can be heard in everything from commercials to movies and even internet memes. At the time of its premiere in 1808, however, it broke the mold that had been cast by all previous symphonies. Whether you’ve heard it once or 1,000 times, this performance by your CSO is not to be missed! The orchestra will also be joined by members of the youth orchestra for Charlestonia, as part of our annual Share the Stage performance.
