Beethoven Cycle Concludes

Utah Symphony | Utah Opera
May 25-May 26, 2012

The Cycle ends at the beginning. Beethoven wrote his 1st Symphony around the turn of the 19th century and though it owes something to his predecessors, namely Haydn, it also contains the seeds of his future mastery of the form. The final Masterworks program also features Charles Ives' ingenious Variations on America and the massive scale and dazzling orchestration of the Alpine Symphony by Richard Strauss. Both works highlight the virtuosity of the Utah Symphony and bring Maestro Fischer's exciting season-long journey to a quiet, dreamlike close.
