Events Description
Tafelmusik’s opening concerts of the season are devoted to the music of two mavericks of their era, Ludwig van Beethoven and Louise Farrenc.
The first and only female professor at the Paris Conservatory during the 19th century, Farrenc was a trailblazer whose Symphony No. 3 caught the attention of critics at its Paris premiere in 1849. Her “strong and spirited work” boldly held its own alongside the other piece sharing the program that April evening — Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5.
Taking our cue from history, we are following suit by pairing Farrenc with Beethoven, specifically the Symphony No. 7. The work is best known for the haunting intensity of its allegretto, and the movement’s cult status as a stand-alone piece still endures today. The allegretto has been heard in everything from the ceremony commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall to soundtracks for films like The King’s Speech and Westworld.
A trailblazer in his own right, the acclaimed young German conductor Jakob Lehmann makes his Tafelmusik debut with these performances. Artistic Director of Eroica Berlin and Associate Artistic Director of Teatro Nuovo, Lehmann is known for “revelatory conducting” (Opera Today) that “vigorously shakes up our listening habits” (Classica).
