Beethoven’s Fifth
With its striking first movement, Beethoven’s fifth symphony just has to be the most famous work in the history of classical music. The Israeli composer Ella Milch-Sheriff has based her tribute to Beethoven, The Eternal Stranger, on one of Beethoven’s dreams. It presents the legendary composer in a new and unexpected way. We will also have the privilege of hearing the violist Lawrence Power in Anders Hillborg’s Viola Concert, commissioned by, among others, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
The concert will be broadcasted on Berwaldhallen Play and in the Swedish Radio Friday, March 31 at 7 pm.
