Description

Da da da duhhhhh! It has one of the most famous openings in all of music, appearing in everything from The Walking Dead to the The Simpson's. Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is a thriller and a longtime audience favorite. Bring the whole family to enjoy this high-octane classic alongside the delightful, folk-inspired Holberg Suite by Edvard Grieg. The program includes a world premiere by Haitian-American Nathalie Joachim. Guest conductor Eric Jacobsen returns after making his Festival debut in 2023.
