Ludwig van Beethoven
1770-1827
A concert of some of the very few songs Ludwig van Beethoven wrote with directly religious themes, that are nevertheless transformed to grander spiritual matters. The music sets text of the poetry of an enlightenment-era titan, Christian Fürchtegott Gellert. We also hear one of Beethoven’s grandest songs: “To Hope,” written as he struggled to accept his deafness.
Schubert, Beethoven and Copland

The delightful musical miniatures of Franz Schubert, Ludwig van Beethoven and Aaron Copland fill this concert. We hear Schubert songs inspired by Shakespeare, with a special guest appearance from a renowned Shakespearian actor from the Los Angeles theater scene; Beethoven songs inspired by the poetry of an enlightenment-era titan, Christian Fürchtegott Gellert; and Copland songs inspired by American history and folk traditions.
