Tulsa Symphony – Beethoven’s 4th Symphony
January 14, 2017 | 7:30 - 10 p.m.
MENDELSSOHN The Hebrides RAVEL Le tombeau de Couperin RAVEL Tzigane BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 4 Inspiration shows up anywhere and everywhere. Mendelssohn, a lover of nature, found inspiration in the natural acoustics of a sea cave in the InneTur Hebrides of Scotland. The idea for Ravel’s Le tombeau de Couperin came forth on a battlefield in World War I, and his Hungarian musical style of Tzigane, after hearing a private concert of a talented Hungarian violinist. While catching his breath before returning to the heroic struggles of the Fifth Symphony, Beethoven found inspiration for his illuminating Symphony No. 4 while retiring in the country estate of a devoted admirer. Daniel Hege, principal guest conductor Rossitza Jekova-Goza, violin Pre-concert conductor chat begins at 6:30 and student performances at 6:45. All are invited to attend the post-concert reception and meet the musicians and conductor! http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=37848&pid=8223419&agency=TULSA_PAC
