Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2

OVERVIEW

This program spins an age-old story: illusion. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2—with its boundless vitality—was written as the composer’s deafness (and depression) was becoming more pronounced, and Ravel’s surprisingly light-hearted suite Le tombeau de Couperin pays homage to his friends that fell in World War II. Stravinsky’s Neo-Classical ballet Pulcinella centers around a clown whose trickery secures his girlfriend’s forgiveness. Unmask the clown, explore Beethoven’s sorrowful secret, and examine tragedy expressed through joyful music.

• The only official ticket outlets for this performance are Utah Symphony | Utah Opera or ArtTix.
