In celebration of Beethoven’s 250th birth year, the MGSO begins 2020 with the famed composer’s 6th Symphony: the Pastorale. An avid lover of nature and often retreating to the countryside, Beethoven described his piece, while programmatic, as an “expression of feeling rather than a painting”. Come enjoy this beloved classic, as well as Khachaturian’s cello concerto performed by McGill Concerto competition winner Braden McConnell and a new work composed by Kit Soden, winner of the 2017-2018 Andrew Svoboda Composition Award.

The concert on February 15 will be webcast.
