Season Opens September 2

A new season is only two weeks away! It opens with a piece of music from Beethoven that was one of his most popular during his time. Alan Black, Artistic Consultant to Chamber Music at St. Peter’s shares:

Beethoven’s Septet in E Flat Major, Opus 20, was composed early in his life and is one of Beethoven’s most happy and lighthearted works. Written for the unusual combination of seven instruments that included woodwinds plus violin, viola, cello, and bass, the Septet was one of his most popular works at the time it was written. The style of the Septet belongs more with the music of Mozart and Haydn, and Beethoven used this piece as an exercise to learn how to write chamber music.
