“A Joyful Fanfare”: Beethoven’s Second

Written at the time when his deafness was first becoming apparent, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 is nonetheless a joyous and festive work that bespeaks its composer’s indomitable spirit. The concert concludes with three of America’s most treasured musical voices: Leroy Anderson, the master of light symphonic music, Aaron Copland, “the dean of American composers”, and John Philip Sousa, the justly-crowned and never-deposed “March King.” The Sammamish Symphony will also perform a concerto with the winner of its 2017 Young Artists Competition.
