Victoria Symphony Presents Beethoven Symphony No 5

Event Description

Carlos Simon: Fate Now Conquers
Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 3
Beethoven: Symphony No. 5

A fateful quote from The Iliad inspired Beethoven, and the American composer Carlos Simon. Is it fate, “knocking at the door” that their works should be featured on the same program? Like Beethoven, Prokofiev composed five piano concertos. From its premiere in 1921 with the Chicago Symphony, Prokofiev’s Third Concerto has proven to be his most popular—a brilliant showcase of both the lyrical and the virtuosic gifts of the great pianist-composer.
