  3. Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto


Haydn Symphony No. 91
Schoenberg Chamber Symphony No. 2
Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5 "Emperor"

We welcome back Christian Zacharias (“a performer who is suited for the world stage” ~ The New Yorker) as both conductor and pianist for the Emperor Concerto. Though composed while Vienna was besieged by Napoleon’s armies, Beethoven’s last piano concerto shows no sign of despair amid the chaos; the music remains defiant, rebellious, triumphant. Its nickname highlights the work’s regal temperament, speaking with both majesty and poetry.

The evening opens with a genteel Haydn symphony and Schoenberg’s fascinating late masterpiece, three decades in the making.
