Beethoven and Wagner

May 21, 2021 7:30PM - May 22, 2021 7:30PM

On Christmas morning of 1870, Richard Wagner’s new wife, Cosima, awakened to quite the surprise: 15 musicians on the staircase outside of her bedroom performing a new piece Richard had written for her birthday. In this instrumental pastorale, Wagner lovers will hear many favorite horn calls and bird songs from the Ring Cycle opera, Siegfried. Edward Elgar’s own little gift to his wife, Salut d’amour (Hello Love), is a warm and charming intermezzo on this program that opens with a lesser-known but brilliant gem from Wagner’s greatest influence, Beethoven.
