Enjoy a free concert beginning with an interactive demonstration onstage with Maestro Ben Simon and the SFCO that will guide you through Beethoven's Sixth Symphony- revealing its hidden depths and beauties, followed by a complete performance. In this appealing work, Beethoven considers the loveliness of nature, country dancing, thunderstorms and bird songs. The composer wrote to a friend that “no one can love the countryside as much as I do, for surely woods, trees, and rocks produce the echo which man desires to hear.”
