Beethoven  Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55 Eroica

A symphony so monumental it ushered in a new period of composition, Beethoven’s Eroica expanded the possibilities of the symphonic form. For the first time, the symphony became a vehicle to convey ideas, beliefs, and narrative, transcending its status as a purely abstract musical work. Dedicated initially to Napoleon, Beethoven famously scratched out the Frenchman’s name so violently from the manuscript that a hole was left in the page! This heroic masterwork will be brought to life by the Elder Conservatorium Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Luke Dollman.
