Weber Euryanthe Overture
Weber Oberon Overture
Beethoven Symphony No. 5 in C Minor
The Mahler Players
Conducted by Tomas Leakey
Sunday 16th March at Inverness Cathedral.
Two performances: 4pm and 7pm
The Mahler Players invite you to join us in Inverness Cathedral on Sunday 16th March as we continue our exploration of Beethoven’s symphonies, this time with the Fifth. Sometimes nicknamed the “Fate” symphony, the music is some of Beethoven’s most dramatic and powerful. With the fury of the “four most famous notes in music”, moments of tenderness and the eventual triumphant finale, the symphony remains as staggering today as when it was first heard in 1808.
The Beethoven will be preceded by Weber’s Euryanthe and Oberon overtures. These overtures present Weber at his rejuvenating best and showcase the virtuosity of the orchestra, with their infectious combination of brilliance and lyricism.
We hope to see you there as we perform this exhilarating music.
