The Masterworks season opens with the TSO’s beloved concertmaster Lauren Roth performing Beethoven’s sublime Violin Concerto, a dramatic showpiece written during one of the most creative periods in the composer’s life. Antonio Sarrier’s Symphony in D from the 18th century was long-lost until its discovery in an archive in Mexico. Schubert’s dynamic third symphony continues the TSO’s journey to survey the composer’s full symphonic output. This concert is available as part of a Masterworks Series Subscription. The Saturday matinee is also available as part of a Create Your Own Subscription. This concert is expected to last approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, including intermission. This concert will be preceded by Concert Comments, a pre-concert talk, beginning one hour before each performance. 17 years after his death, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto first achieved true popularity when it was championed by the 13-year-old prodigy violinist Joseph Joachim in 1844. The prolific 18-year-old Franz Schubert completed his Third Symphony, along with an operetta, some songs and liturgical music, in just 26 days!Plan Your Visit
