Jordi Savall, director
Beethoven Symphonies Nos. 3 & 5 

Program:
Beethoven/Symphony No. 3, Eroica
      Symphony No. 5 

In Jordi Savall’s programs, Berkeley audiences have come to expect the unexpected and painstakingly curated works by lesser-known and often anonymous composers that explore history and reveal connections between people and cultures. This season, he puts his personal stamp on iconic works of the early 19th century—Beethoven’s third and fifth symphonies. This concert is part of Savall’s project (and lifelong dream) to record and perform all nine of the composer’s symphonies on period instruments.
