Beethoven: Words And Music
Continuing the NCH’s year-long celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven, the Degani Piano Trio performs Beethoven’s Piano Trios Op. 1 and Op. 70. Celebrated actor Barry McGovern joins the trio for two of the concerts to read from Beethoven’s Heiligenstadt Testament and letters together with anecdotes by his contempories, and soprano Sylvia O’Brien performs a selection of Beethoven’s arrangements of Irish and Scottish songs in the middle concert of the series.
