BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major, op. 15
featuring Phillip Bush, piano

DVORÁK Symphony No. 7 in D minor, op. 70

Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1, written during 1796 and 1797 isn’t actually the first one he composed. Despite its relative conservatism, his Piano Concerto No. 1 did provoke quite a response in its day proving that, even when he was starting out, Beethoven was already challenging preconceived ideas as to what any given musical structure should contain. Join us for an evening, featuring guest artist Phillip Bush, as we celebrate Beethoven’s remarkable musical genius.
