Utah Symphony Presents
Beethoven’s “Emperor” Piano Concerto

DATES and TIMES:
September 22 & 23, 2023 | 7:30 PM

VENUE:
Maurice Abravanel Hall
123 W. South Temple
Salt Lake City, UT. 84101

SYNOPSIS:
Famously written the night before its premiere performance, Mozart’s Overture to Don Giovanni foreshadows the fate that awaits an unrepentant villain. This epic warning is contrasted with two works that herald a banner of freedom—Beethoven’s grand “Emperor” Piano Concerto and Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5. Each composer directly defies the sorrows of the wars that were raging as they composed these works—instead, celebrating the heroics of their countrymen and expressing pride in their homelands.
