Beethoven's Fifth

Join Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin starting Wednesday August 10th as he leads the Orchestra in four programs at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. 

The highlight of the evening is Beethoven’s indelible Fifth Symphony, originally scheduled as part of the 2020 season to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. Written in 1807–08, and on the program when The Philadelphia Orchestra gave its first concert in 1900, it’s an epic tour de force that still resonates today.

Also inspired by nature, and based on a direct quote from Beethoven, composer Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht imagines Beethoven’s response to today’s climate crisis.

Located in Saratoga Springs, the Saratoga Performing Arts Center is a large amphitheater that is perfect for a summer concert.
