Hope for a Better World: Beethoven’s “Eroica”
Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal
May 31, 2018
La Maison Symphonique de Montréal
On May 31st, experience passion and genius come to life through music in Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony as performed by the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal. Driven by a desire for a more just world, Beethoven dedicated “Eroica” to Napoleon, a dedication removed when, to Beethoven’s disgust, Napoleon crowned himself emperor. The show begins at 8 pm.
