KSO Season Opener This Week: Beethoven’s Fifth and Gershwin’s Concerto in F

“Beethoven’s Fifth,” offers Demirjian, “is arguably the most well-known, well-loved, ubiquitous piece in the entire symphonic repertoire — and yet it never feels old, tired, or overstated. Quite the contrary  —   it seems to get more exhilarating with every fresh exposure to it. Such is the magic of true masterpieces  —   they contain seemingly endless depths to mine.”
