Symphony Of The Americas Performs SYMPHONIC FIREWORKS: BEETHOVEN'S FIFTH Conducted By Artistic Director Pablo Mielgo

After two sold out performances of "Symphony Pops" Curtain Up! The Music of John Williams (The Season opener Oct.1 and Oct. 3), Symphony of the Americas follows with a "Symphony Classics" performance, Symphonic Fireworks.

Conducted by Artistic Director Pablo Mielgo, The Symphony will perform Jean Sibelius' "Valse Triste" op. 44, N. 1, Franz Liszt's "Preludes" S. 97, and the masterpiece of the classical era, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, a triumph of human spirit and resilience.

When Ludwig van Beethoven started his Fifth Symphony, he was aware that he was going deaf. Beethoven's Fifth is raw emotion and sheer power, making it the world's most recognizable symphonic work and one of the most frequently played symphonies.

Hungarian composer, virtuoso pianist, conductor, and teacher of the Romantic period, Franz Liszt's "Preludes" S. 97 is the third of Franz Liszt's thirteen symphonic poems.

Finnish Composer, Jean Sibelius' "Valse Triste" op. 44, N. 1 was composed for his brother-in-law's play Kuolema (Death), but became well known as a concert piece and remains one of Sibelius' signature pieces.

Performances will be presented in The Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for Performing Arts, located at 201 SW 5th Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312.

Two evening performances are scheduled; Tuesday Oct. 31 and Wed. Nov.1 2023. Both performances at 7:45 p.m.

Individual tickets range from $35 to $75, and can be purchased in advance online at https://sota.org, or Broward Center Box Office: 954.462.0222.
