A world premiere by Anthony Cheung alongside Claude Viver’s Asian-inspired masterpiece Zipangu round out this thrilling night of musical exploration and adventure. Sun, Feb. 14 | Bridge to Beethoven – No composer connotes the greatest pinnacles of musical achievement than Beethoven. No matter the genre, Beethoven revolutionized it, throwing down the gauntlet for all who followed. In this program, Koh and Wosner pair three of Beethoven’s magnificent heroic-period sonatas for violin and piano with a newly commissioned work in two parts by Los Angeles-based composer Andrew Norman, here receiving its local premiere. It’s a program that will leave you feeling energized and elated, and remind you that Beethoven knows no boundaries when it comes to inspiring creators and audiences alike.
