Beethoven Eroica & Bologne: The Winds of Change at Koerner Hall

Tafelmusik’s 2025/26 season finale at Koerner Hall salutes this uplifting spirit with music by Ludwig van Beethoven and Joseph Bologne, composers who embraced change and challenged the status quo.    

A trailblazer in his own right, the renowned Japanese-American violinist Shunske Sato makes his Tafelmusik debut directing these performances. Concertmaster of Concerto Köln and former Artistic Leader of the Netherlands Bach Society, Sato is known for performances that push the envelope and “dig deeper into his instrument” (Gramophone).

Leading the orchestra from the violin, Sato directs Beethoven’s Symphony no. 3, “Eroica,” a work that profoundly changed the symphonic form while staying true to the composer’s ethos. Don’t miss your chance to experience Tafelmusik’s 2025/26 season finale at Koerner Hall May 29-31, 2026. Buy tickets at tafelmusik.org
