Steve Hackman’s Beethoven X Beyoncé

Description

Saturday, May 1, 2027, 8 p.m. Helzberg Hall GIRLS. They run the world... they turn up the night... and if you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it! Steve Hackman’s Beethoven X Beyoncé celebrates and elevates all things woman by combining pop music’s Queen with classical music’s King: Beethoven and Beyoncé. Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, the symphonic repertoire’s most joyful and exuberant celebration of dance, is the canvas onto which 15 of Beyoncé’s most popular songs across her entire catalog are interwoven, including “Girls,” “Crazy in Love,” “Sorry,” “Cuff It,” “Single Ladies” and of course, “Texas Hold ’Em.” The production’s emotional peak is when two of the most recognizable melodies from each composer are intertwined: “Halo” and the hauntingly beautiful second movement of the Beethoven. Three powerhouse female soloists, as well as a guest drummer, guitarist/keyboardist and bassist, join the orchestra.
