Programme Note

The great Berner Symphonie-Orchester, conducted by Mario Venzago, performs the most significant of Beethovens works in the first of two concerts this season. Before the interval, Swiss pianist Oliver Schnyder performs Beethovens Piano Concerto No. 2.

The orchestra ends the evening with Beethovens Symphony No. 3, the musical masterpiece which was revolutionary in breaking the structures of the Classical period through its length and range of emotion, and is often cited as the beginning of the Romantic period in music.

The second concert is on Friday 10 April.

Part of the Zurich International Orchestra Series 2014-15
