TCO Miami Residency | Beethoven's Fifth Symphony

Music Director Franz Welser-Möst leads a powerful program bookended by Beethoven: his Leonore Overture No. 3 distills an entire opera into its most poignant themes, while his Fifth Symphony creates an epic musical journey out of just four iconic notes. Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen takes thematic transformation even further, layering quotations from Beethoven symphonies in a stirring meditation on the destruction of World War II.
