Beethoven’s Third Symphony stands as the ultimate testament to human resilience, ambition and inventiveness. A triumph of artistic will over adversity, it redefined the symphony itself, and its heroic narrative and raw power changed music forever.

Acclaimed Italian violinist Francesca Dego makes her WASO debut with Shostakovich’s emotionally charged Violin Concerto No.1, a work in which he transformed oppression into profound and beautiful music.

Join Asher Fisch the Thursday before the concert for a unique insight into Eroica at WASO’s Discover: Beethoven concert.
