THEME WORDS

 JUST BEETHOVEN 2

 What could be better than an evening in the company of Ludwig van Beethoven in three of his greatest works ably conducted by Russell Keable?  The clarion calls of the trumpet fanfares in Overture Leonora No 3 lead into the quietly revolutionary but excitingly taut 4th Piano Concerto, expertly played by renowned (up and coming – whatever) pianist ???? ???.  The Eroica Symphony was epoch making in its time because of its sheer length and fantastic depth of emotion.  If you have not yet heard the tragic funeral march in the middle of the symphony you have missed one of the most heart wrenching pieces of music ever written.  Join us to hear this epic work at the Broadway.
