Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony
Friday, January 8 and Saturday, January 9
7:30 PM | Gaillard Center
In a concert program themed around commemoration, two Emmy Award-winning and Grammy-nominated artists return to join the Charleston Symphony — Conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya and Violinist Robert McDuffie.
Beethoven’s Third Symphony “Eroica” (heroic in Italian) was originally written in tribute to Napoléon Bonaparte. However, when Bonaparte took the role of conqueror, Beethoven replaced the dedication with an ambiguous subtitle. The music is heroic in itself, as it set forth new ideals and higher expectations for the future of symphonies, forever changing the landscape of Western music.
Hear the symphony that changed what music could be. Epic in scope, electric with energy, and deeply human, Beethoven’s “Eroica” moves through gripping drama to a victorious finale. Experience this landmark work with your Charleston Symphony
6:30PM – Free Concert Talk!
