Centennial Concert Hall
Robert Schumann's Konzertstück is a dazzling Romantic work.
Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 changed the course of musical history. Originally entitled "Bonaparte," the music was inspired by Napoleon as rescuer of his people from tyranny. But when Beethoven found out Napoleon had declared himself emperor, the enraged composer changed the designation to Eroica symphony: "Heroic symphony, to celebrate the memory of a great man."

RICHTER & SILVESTROV NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL CLOSER
We present a recomposed version of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, by British composer Max Richter. In his work Vivaldi Recomposed, Richter rewrites Vivaldi's music, creating a more modern work that's like a neo-minimalist meditation on fragments of Vivaldi's melodies.
Also on this evening's program, we are proud to present Valentin Silvestrov's modern classic Requiem for Larissa, written in memory of his late wife. This large-scale work expresses the profundity of the human condition while capturing the beauty of spiritual existence.
