Bryn Athyn Orchestra's spring program


The final work in Bryn Athyn Orchestra's spring program is the idyllic 6th symphony. Here is what Beethoven himself said about the work:  Pastoral Symphony, more an expression of feeling than painting.

1st piece: pleasant feelings which awaken in men on arriving in the countryside.

 2d piece: scene by the brook.

3d piece: merry gathering of country people, interrupted by 4th piece: thunder and storm, into which breaks

5th piece: salutary feelings, with thanks to the Deity.  

Either you are familiar with this enchanting work and love it already, or you should come and hear it so it can become one of your top ten!

Hope to see you ALL on May 11 at 3 pm at the Mitchell Performing Arts Center.
