Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto Comes to the Schuster Center

Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto comes to the Schuster Center this month. Performances run January 10-11, 2025.

Inspired by paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe, composer Elena Ruehr’s “Sky Above Clouds” is the middle movement of a musical triptych and perfectly captures O’Keeffe’s flair for contemporary sweeping tableaus. The dramatic evening continues with two orchestral heavyweights: Brahms’s Symphony No. 3 and Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto, widely considered to be among his greatest works.
