Thrill to two pathbreaking works, the Leonore Overture No. 3 and Symphony No. 7, in which Beethoven set aside thoughts of pleasing the tastemakers and gave full rein to his tempestuous personality. The third work of the evening, Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3, showcases a rising young star from Finland with enviable credentials: “If we needed proof that exciting new talent is in the pipeline, there was the marvelous American debut of Juho Pohjonen” – New York Times. The eminent international conductor Hugh Wolff conducts.
