Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 1

Our festival kicks off with the voices of youth. Inspired by Beethoven’s first symphonic compositions which were born out of a period of dramatic change and revolution, teens from across King County have come together to compose a new work reflecting on our changing climate and its impact on their future. Paired with Beethoven’s First and Third Symphonies, we’ll hear how this master advanced the Classical style of his mentors Haydn and Mozart, turning the pages of history and launching the Romantic era in all its power and grandeur.
