Yannick Nézet-Séguin Conductor
Hunt Climb
Beethoven Symphony No. 3 (“Eroica”)
A vast ode to heroism, revolution, and freedom, the “Eroica” is considered by many to be the greatest of not just Beethoven's symphonies but the greatest of all time. Composer Jessica Hunt relates Beethoven’s personal struggles to her own experience with chronic illness, calling Climb “a letter-through-time to Beethoven to express my gratitude for his work and to express our silent kinship.”
