BEETHOVEN | Egmont Overture, op. 84
MENDELSSOHN | Symphony no. 4 in A, op. 90, Italian
BEETHOVEN | Symphony no. 4 in B flat major, op. 60
The HK Phil presents a programme of classical elegance and delight. The concert opens with Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, distilling Goethe’s tragedy into a journey from oppression to triumph. Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony, composed during his Grand Tour and described by the composer as “the most joyful piece I have yet composed,” radiates Mediterranean colour — sunlit skies, solemn processions, majestic monuments and a Neapolitan saltarello. Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony, written between the heroic Third and the iconic Fifth, crowns the evening in uplifting B flat major.
The concert runs approximately 100 minutes with an intermission.
For ages 6 and above
