      Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

      The Symphony, Part II — (1803 -1950)

      This week, we begin with Beethoven's Symphony No. 2, marking the end of the symphonic Classical period. From there, Bill will guide us through the next 50 years, showing how composers expanded the orchestra’s size and found new ways to express stories and emotions. As our journey continues, we listen to Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony from 1803, move forward with symphonic works by Berlioz, Mendelssohn, and Schubert, and conclude with Schumann’s Rhenish Symphony.

      8:00 - 11:00 pm
