Beethoven conveyed his spirit
in his music and his outlook upon common human experiences.
In his Eroica Symphony, which may have been originally
inspired by Napoleon and the ideals of Democracy, he portrays
the character of a hero in all its manifestations: battles,
struggles, grief, resignation over loss, and redemption.
Moving American vocal works by Barber and Hovhaness, as well
as world premieres by Stan Grill, Carlos Castañeda
Jr., and Jihwan Kim’s symphonic arrangement of Coldplay’s Fix
You, will be interwoven between movements of Beethoven’s Eroica.
Special guest artists include
The Youth Chorus of The Special Music School at the Kauffman
Center, Amberleigh Aller, Nathan Davis, Meghan Dibble, Jerett
Gieseler, Rod Gomez,

Ryan, and Kathleen Theisen.
"Men are not only together
when they are with each other; even the distant and the
dead live with us."
-- Ludwig van Beethoven
