Beethoven, American Style:
Music in the '90s
Sunday, February 24, 2008 2:00 pm

Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for
the Arts
Maria Bachmann, violin
Two iconic Beethoven masterpieces frame two masterworks of a more recent vintage. Beethoven's ode to freedom is followed by a short, hauntingly beautiful ode to the "Comrades" for the underground resistance in the Baltic lands during the Cold War; and Beethoven's ecstatic Seventh Symphony follows an equally ecstatic suite from John Corigliano's music for the movie The Red Violin, made so popular in the 1990s by Joshua Bell. The WSO will be joined by the glittering and gifted your American virtuoso Maria Bachmann - one of Corigliano's own favorite exponents of his work.
