“I Like Ludwig” Beethoven Concert | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join The San Francisco 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. Robin Sharp, the SFCO’s concertmaster, is the featured soloist.

Benjamin Simon, conductor
Beethoven: Coriolan Overture, Op. 62, Symphony #2 in D major, Op. 36, Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61

Admission is free, but tickets are required for non-members. Reserve online, or call 415.692.5258 to make your reservation by phone. Doors open to the public 45 minutes before concert time.
