The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony 

About

A sonic feast: experience stirring, melodic works for wind
octet and string orchestra. A meditative chamber work by Arvo Pärt highlights
the SPCO winds, evoking an almost trance-like spirit before the strings join
for Igor Stravinsky’s lilting, picturesque Apollon musagète, Ballet in
Two Scenes. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, a cornerstone of orchestral
music, builds on the energy of the first half of the program, delivering
triumphant bursts and rich harmonies.
