Orchestra Santa Monica - Opening Season Concert "Heroic Beethoven and More"
Orchestra Santa Monica will kick off its 2014-15 season with Heroic Beethoven and More! The orchestra will perform Beethoven’s dramatic Egmont Overture celebrating the life and heroism of a 16th century Dutch nobleman, and the emotional and provocative “Eroica” Symphony. “Eroica” was originally penned to honor Napoleon Bonaparte and then renamed when Beethoven deemed the leader “a tyrant”. The symphony was also featured prominently in Hitchcock’s movie Psycho - heightening the tension inside the Bates Motel.
WHAT ELSE: An opening concert highlight is Grammy-winning pianist Gloria Cheng performing the west coast premiere of Latvian composer Georgs Pelecis’ “Concertino Bianco”, which uses only the white notes on the piano.
