DANCES WITH THE WINDS

Featuring Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony

Middle children will understand – stuck between Beethoven’s attention-hogging Third and Fifth Symphonies, the Fourth Symphony often goes overlooked. But this quieter sibling might just be Beethoven’s most underrated piece. It’s the star of the show, alongside the winner of our 2024 Emerging Soloist Competition.

Saturday, December 6, 7:00PM • Sunday, December 7, 2:30PM
Ent Center for the Arts

    You know the flute. But what about the piccolo, alto flute, and even the bass flute? All four members of the flute family will take a turn in an ethereal, snowy concerto by Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara, performed by the winner of our 2024 Emerging Soloist Competition.

    We’ve paired this piece with an inventive and witty suite by Jacques Ibert and Beethoven’s often-overlooked fourth symphony.
