TSO Performs
We were so happy to celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday during the 2019–20 season by playing (almost) all his symphonies! José Luis Gomez created this playlist of excerpts from Symphonies 1–8 and recorded a video introduction to the playlist. We hope you can listen to this playlist and remember all those great moments!
