Reflection – Smetana & Beethoven

7:30 PM

221 Walnut St, Des Moines, IA


 

The Des Moines Symphony presents “Reflection,” a concert that explores the cultural and emotional weight of the classical canon. The program includes Mozart’s “Prague” Symphony and Smetana’s sweeping “The Moldau,” before concluding with Beethoven’s lyrical Violin Concerto, featuring the debut of Stella Chen. It is an intellectually rigorous afternoon of musicology, demonstrating how composers reflect their environments and personal struggles through orchestration. For the serious student of music, this performance is a profound lesson in the structural and emotive power of the symphony.
