Beethoven from 1792 to 2026 II

Description

InfosAdriano Giardina speaker Stephanie Gurga piano ProgramLudwig van Beethoven is more than a musician, he is a major cultural phenomenon. Arriving in Vienna in 1792 to build a career, he managed to be recognized as the greatest European composer after Haydn's death in the early 19th century. From then on, he remained not only the cornerstone of the repertoire but also embodied better than anyone the romantic myth of the creative hero, played a role model for our democratic modernity, while serving as a banner for various causes. These chronicles, led by musicologist and conductor Adriano Giardina, will offer a historical journey tracing Beethoven's aesthetic, social, and political impact over time. Additionally, a commentary on excerpts from his piano sonatas - performed by pianist Stephanie Gurga (17.10) - a kind of musical innovation laboratory, a signature of the composer, will help explain the musical foundations of this resonance. AboutAt Noda BCVS, concerts follow one another and are not alike. Attention to curious minds: the Chronicles offer a time for in-depth understanding, to better grasp the major issues of our musical history. In 2026-27, the Chronicles are organized around major themes and explore the rich and multiple interactions that connect music to the surrounding world, society, and our unique perceptions. Throughout the season, immerse yourself in Beethoven's universe, feel the passion of baroque music, discover the history of musical interpretation, and the fascinating world of the human voice!
