Charleston Symphony Presents CSO Masterworks 6 Sat: Beethoven’s 5th Symphony With Conductor Joann Falletta
Behold the brilliance in this program featuring Beethoven’s groundbreaking Fifth 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 Fifth 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.
