Since lockdowns prevented the Contra Costa Chamber Orchestra from celebrating Beethoven's 250th birthday in late 2020, the orchestra is performing "Beethoven's Belated Birthday Bash" on April 23, 2 PM at the El Campanile Theatre in Antioch.
This live experience begins with the Overture to Fidelio, the curtain-opener for the only opera he ever wrote. Fidelio went through 30 revisions before settling on a final version, and the overture required 4 separate attempts. Leonard Bernstein called Fidelio "some of the most glorious music ever conceived by a mortal..."
Enjoy Beethoven's Symphony No. 8, a lighthearted and mischievous composition sprinkled with subtle musical pranks. The unconventional form and comical tone set it apart.
Finally, hear the exuberant Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major featuring Oakland-based piano soloist, Amy Zanrosso. The concerto premiered in 1808 on a cold night in Vienna as part of a long-winded and under-rehearsed program. A reviewer later described it as "the most admirable, singular, artistic, and complex Beethoven concerto ever."
Soloist Amy Zanrosso first fell in love with making music on a small electric organ and began piano lessons at age 6. By 15, she had decided to dedicate her life to music. She has traveled the world, performing in a variety of settings, with appearances with Grammy award-winning artists.
The CCCO believes that everyone should experience the inspiration and energy of a live orchestral performance. This program is easy to appreciate, even for those with little or no classical music experience. The CCCO offers relaxed and inclusive concerts where attendees are welcome to wear anything and clap anytime. And this program's slightly shorter run-time makes it a perfect opportunity to invite friends and family-including children!
Affordable tickets are available at ElCampanileTheatre.com or at the door.
