'Three Cheers for Beethoven!' December 4, 2010

Fans of Beethoven's music are sure to get their fill of the classical composer's music when the Livermore-Amador Symphony opens its 48th season with "Three Cheers For Beethoven!" on Saturday, December 4, 2010, at 8pm at the Bankhead Theater in downtown Livermore.

The all-Beethoven program features three inspiring works: Egmont Overture, Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano and the ever-popular Symphony No. 5, most recognized by its famous first four notes, providing a powerful finale for the performance.

While Beethoven's "Fifth" is sure to please, and the Egmont Overture will tell an emotional story of a martyr's death, the "Triple Concerto" will offer audiences the unusual opportunity to hear three instrumental soloists - violin, cello and piano - play together in a rarely performed Beethoven composition.

Prelude talk
A pre-concert talk by Dr. Arthur Barnes, LAS Music Director, and the soloists, Dr. Anthony Doheny, Stephen Harrison, and Marilyn Thompson, begins at 7 pm.

Tickets: Adults $22 - $28; Seniors $20 - $26; Youth $10.
Tickets available through the Bankhead Theater. Call (925) 373-6800, or online at www.bankheadtheater.org. Ticket office hours are Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6pm, and on performance days, two hours prior to show.
