Guitarist

One of the most influential and innovative symphonies ever written, the “Eroica” was originally intended to be dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, but Beethoven changed his mind after Napoleon crowned himself emperor in 1804. He felt Napoleon had betrayed his ideals of freedom and equality, and he scratched out his name from the title page of the score. The evening will start with works by American composer and pianist Florence Price—the first African-American woman to have a symphony performed by a major orchestra. Brazilian guitarist Fabio Zanon will take the soloist podium for Villa-Lobos’ Guitar concerto.
