Yeol Eum Son standing at the piano

Beethoven’s Fifth with the National Arts Centre Orchestra

Fri, May 16, 2025 Roy Thomson Hall

Experience classical music’s most iconic four opening notes in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, performed by the National Arts Centre Orchestra under the direction of conductor Alexander Shelley. Known for its powerful themes of triumph over adversity, Beethoven’s Fifth remains one of the most celebrated works in symphonic music. In a delicate delight, pianist Yeol Eum Son performs Mozart’s expressive Piano Concerto No. 22, K. 482, and Listening Underwater, a new work by Canadian composer Keiko Devaux, adds an element of contemporary exploration to the program.
