1st half of the program – Beethoven Triple Concerto in C Major (Opus 56) for solo violin, solo cello, solo piano, and orchestra.
Our featured soloists are Daniel Allen on violin (our Concert Master), Christopher Connolly on cello, and Dr. Martin Jones on piano. It was composed from 1803 to 1804.

There are three movements:
I. Allegro
II. Largo (going straight into the 3rd movement)
III. Rondo alla polacca

The choice of the three solo instruments effectively makes this a concerto for piano trio, and it is the only concerto Beethoven ever completed for more than one solo instrument, also being the only concerto he wrote for cello.

INTERMISSION

2nd half of the program – Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A Major (Opus 92).

I. Poco sostenuto – Vivace (A Major)
II. Allegretto (a minor)
III. Presto – Assai meno mosso (trio) (F Major, Trion in D Major)
IV. Allegro con brio (A Major)
