DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Groupmuse\nMusicians: New Orchestra of Washington and
  Ryo Yanagitani\n\nThe opening four notes of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony ar
 e indelibly etched into the souls of all who pass through our modern world
  - but it was actually **Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony** - his Eroica - that 
 was the true watershed moment in the life of the man\, Classical Music\, a
 nd\, arguably\, Western Culture. It represented a definitive break from th
 e Enlightened Formalism of the classical era\, and ripped straight into th
 e tempestuous iconoclasm  of the Romantic. \n\nThe longest major symphony 
 written up until that time\, Beethoven’s 3rd was originally dedicated to
  Napoleon\, believed by Ludwig Van to be a great liberator — a destroyer
  of structures that stifle human life and potential. When Napoleon declare
 d himself Emperor\, Beethoven scratched out the first title and re-dubbed 
 it the Eroica - the “Heroic”. The world would never be the same.\n\nWe
 ll. We’re so very pleased to get the chance to share this towering\, tee
 tering masterpiece with you\, our wonderful DMV community\, thanks all to 
 the brilliant **New Orchestra of Washington (NOW)**. \n\nWe’ll gather in
  the beautiful **Church of the Epiphany**\, by Lafayette Square\, and star
 t with the glorious and abundant **Piano Concerto No. 1 by Chopin** - feat
 uring virtuoso soloist **Ryo Yanagitani.** It’s an embodiment of the ful
 ly-blown Romantic - the world Beethoven had done so much to create a gener
 ation earlier. \n\n**The second half of the program is the fabled Eroica.*
 * May we carry it with us.\n\nTickets typically run $30\, but **we’ve go
 t a Groupmuse-exclusive stack for just $15!** **[But it won’t last\, so 
 get on it!](https://www.groupmuse.com/events/7900)**\n\nAnd have a great N
 ight Out!
