BEETHOVEN’S FIFTH On March 24-26

CSO_Beethovens FifthBEETHOVEN’S FIFTH
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
March 24-26
Music Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Program
ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK: Cello Concerto
RICHARD AYRES: No. 52 I. Saying Goodbye
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 5

Artists
Anna Rakitina, conductor
Sterling Elliott, cello

Russian conductor Anna Rakitina leads works by two composers who have lived with hearing loss—Beethoven, whose hearing struggle began a decade before the premiere of his Fifth Symphony, and British composer Richard Ayres, whose No. 52 explores, in the composer’s words, “one specific subject: Ludwig van Beethoven’s hearing loss and its effect on him.” Soloist Sterling Elliott, in his CSO debut, brings “impeccable technique and musicality” to Dvořák’s Cello Concerto.

We believe that great music is for everyone, regardless of your budget. This concert is eligible for Pay What You Wish Pricing, as well as other discounts. To learn more visit Music for All.
