The Beethoven Concert, featuring conductor and Meritorious Artist Tran Vuong Thach, pianist Liao Hsin-Chiao , and the HBSO Symphony Orchestra, will present three of the most beloved musical masterpieces by the musical genius Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 , Symphony No. 5 , and the Riolan Overture .
Beethoven's music is a blend of grandeur and magnificence on one hand, and lyricism and tenderness on the other. His music not only encompasses the concepts of yin and yang or male and female, but is also celebrated as the pioneering work of later Romanticism. Beethoven elevated classical music to its peak and was the first breakthrough in structure and content, giving birth to Romantic art.
The renowned composer Beethoven set new standards in musical composition, and it is believed that if one wishes to understand the meaning of human life, Beethoven's works are the first place to look.
