137-35 Northern Blvd.
In their 5BMF debut, Longleash marks the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth with a program that features two of the composer’s celebrated trios alongside contemporary responses by John Zorn and Reiko Füting (World Premiere, co-commissioned by 5BMF and Longleash.) Engaging equally with Beethoven’s music and mythology, Beethoven Reflections offers an opportunity to take stock of our current artistic, cultural, and political moment, through a consideration of Beethoven as an evolving cultural symbol, and an examination of popular narratives about the composer: genius, heroism, disability, triumph, and struggle.
Piano Trio in C minor, Op. 1 No. 3 – L.v. Beethoven
Piano Trio in D major, Op. 70 No. 1 – L.v. Beethoven
Ghosts – John Zorn
World Premiere* – Reiko Füting
