POSTPONED: Revolutionaries
This event has been postponed. Please click here for more information.
————————————-
Revolutionaries in music are often catalysts into new eras. In the case of Beethoven, while stylistically starting in the Classical style, his innovations launched what we see and hear in music for the next century as the Romantic age. The Beatles did a similar thing 60 years ago, changing the way we listen to music. This concert celebrates these revolutionary musicians then, and now.
On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven, and the 60th anniversary of the birth of The Beatles, we celebrate the idea that art continues to surprise us, just as these revolutionary musicians did, and it continually reinvents the way we see and hear the world.
