SF Chamber Orchestra Plays Beethoven | Civic Center

Submitted by the Event Organizer

I like Ludwig—don’t you? Join the SF Chamber Orchestra as they ring in the New Year with music of Ludwig van Beethoven.

His Second Symphony shocked contemporary audiences in 1802; one critic called it “a hideously writhing, wounded dragon that refuses to die.” Nor was Beethoven’s Violin Concerto popular at first, but these two youthful compositions were groundbreaking works of incredible genius. Robin Sharp (pictured), the SFCO’s concertmaster, is the featured soloist.

Benjamin Simon, conductor
Robin Sharp, violin

Ludwig van Beethoven: Coriolan Overture, Op. 62
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony #2 in D major, Op. 36
