Jul. 17

Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4

About This Concert

The Houston Symphony performs Farrenc’s dazzling Overture No. 1 under the baton of Japanese American conductor Taichi Fukumura. One of the most recognizable piano concertos in classical history, Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A minor will be performed by Chopin Piano Competition finalist Eva Gevorgyan. If Beethoven were to have a “hidden gem” of a symphony, it would be the Fourth—filled with optimism and warmth, it’s a must-hear experience for any Beethoven lover.
