Beethoven's Birthday Concert

A Light  In the Darkness

A series of benefit concerts for education and music programs

Ludwig Van Beethoven's life is one of the most astonishing stories of all time.  Though the power of determination and will, he  rose from  his grief-stricken childhood as a little boy who was constantly abused by his alcoholic father to become  Vienna's most famous and sought-after pianist, conductor and composer. At the pinnacle of his fame, tragedy struck again as he discovered his growing deafness. Despite excruciating pain, constant personal rejection and  the terror and fear of the Napoleonic wars exploding around him, Beethoven found a way to pour his broken heart into his music, creating a pathway of hope and healing for all of us that led to a vision of universal peace and love in his Ninth Symphony.

On Beethoven's birthday, join Santa Rosa Symphony Music Historian Kayleen Asbo, pianist Emma  Asbo and pianist and baritone Jason Byer for a candlelight concert in celebration of the life and music of a hero for our time in a musical  journey that carries us from darkness  to joy.  All profits from the concerts  go to funding initiatives to bring music education into local schools and provide scholarships for music camps for needy children.
