January 20: Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto

Tuesday January 20, 2025 @ 4:00pm & 7:00pm

CHANNING HALL

Unitarian Universalist Church, Princeton

From the second movement of the Emperor Concerto with NOVO Quartet, in the same arrangement we will hear on January 20:

Ian Barnett & Daniel Lee, violin

Jisang Kymm, viola

Elliott Kim, cello

Per Tengstrand, piano

Beethoven’s fifth Piano Concerto is grandiose, beautiful, brilliant and majestic. Its middle movement is one of the composer’s most sublime creations. In this unique arrangement for piano and string quartet, we can hear the virtuoso piano part even more clearly.

The power of humanity shines through in Beethoven’s music, not least in this concerto, a constant audience favorite for a reason!
