Baltimore Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4

The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and The Clarice have announced a groundbreaking partnership for 2023-24 featuring extraordinary performances, unique educational experiences and meaningful community engagement. In the first of these events, newly appointed BSO Music Director Jonathon Heyward co-hosts a conversation and performance with ethnomusicologist and UMD College of Arts & Humanities Dean Stephanie Shonekan. Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony channels the impish wit of his one-time teacher Haydn, while Unsuk Chin’s Subito con forza riffs on a phrase from Beethoven over the course of five frenetic minutes.
