Tacoma symphony to celebrate Beethoven
To mark the 250th anniversary of birth of Ludwig van Beethoven, Symphony Tacoma will be performing two of his pieces at its concert in March.

The first piece will be “The Creatures of Prometheus,” the only full-length ballet written by Beethoven. It is one of his prominent works and will show his lighter side. The other piece will be “Choral Fantasy,” a work for piano, chorus, vocal solos, and orchestra. Sarah Ioannides will be conducting the orchestra, while Geoffrey Boers will be leading the Symphony Tacoma Voices.
Pallavi Mahidhara will be playing the piano solo. The Indian American pianist made her debut at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago at the age of 10. Since then, she has taken part in orchestral and solo concerts in five continents. She has a wide range of musical interests, from fusion and crossover projects, to music of living and contemporary composers, as well as standard classical pieces.
Mozart’s longest and final symphony “Jupiter” and “The Bleeding Pines” will also be performed at the concert. The latter is a United States premiere and was created by Composer in Residence, David Ludwig, who took his inspiration for the piece from “Choral Fantasy.”
The concert will be at the Pantages Theater in Tacoma on Saturday, March 21 at 7:30 pm.
