What’s Special About This Concert:

• Experience the world premiere of a new work by Oklahoma Chamber Symphony Composer in Residence Hamed Erfani, written especially for the orchestra and performed for the very first time.

• Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 “Eroica” shattered expectations of what a symphony could be, expanding the scale, emotion, and drama of orchestral music in revolutionary ways.

• Originally inspired by ideas of heroism and human greatness, the “Eroica” moves from triumphant grandeur to profound moments of reflection, including one of the most moving funeral marches ever written.

• This performance commemorates the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death, celebrating the lasting influence of a composer whose music forever changed the course of classical music.
