About this event

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra presents “Beethoven 1 & 3: Beginnings & Revolution” as part of its comprehensive Beethoven Symphony Cycle. The program pairs Beethoven’s First Symphony—firmly rooted in the classical traditions of Haydn and Mozart, known for its classical proportions and wit—with his groundbreaking Third Symphony, the “Eroica.” After a single intermission, the performance shifts to the Eroica’s radical scale and heroic spirit, a seismic leap from tradition into revolution that heralded Romanticism. Total running time is approximately 120 minutes.
