BEETHOVEN 250: THE FIFTH SYMPHONY
Few musical works have achieved such notoriety as Beethoven’s fifth symphony, nicknamed the Fate Symphony. Whether or not Beethoven actually regarded its famous theme as the ominous knocking of fate, the picture has indeed stuck. On the other hand, Verdi’s dramatic overture to La Forza del destino undoubtedly opens with the tolling bell of destiny.

Regarding Chromecast via iPhone
You can use Chromecast for the broadcasts on Berwaldhallen Play from computers and Android phones, but not if you play the concert from Apple’s iPhone. This is due to built-in limitations in the iPhone. If you want to see our concerts on a TV and have an iPhone, Apple’s own transfer technology (AirPlay) via an Apple TV works well.
