Harmonium of Texas continues its inaugural season with the second concert of the Beethoven celebration, commemorating the 200th anniversary of Beethovens death. Guest conductor Stephanie Childress returns with a remarkable lineup of guest artists, including internationally acclaimed violinist Elena Urioste, celebrated cellist Tommy Mesa, and Harmonium Artistic Director and pianist Jeffrey Kahane, who join forces for Beethovens Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano in C Major, Op. 56, also known as the Triple Concerto. The program opens with the Texas premiere of Mary Kouyoumdjians Tagh (Diary) of an Immigrant, a contemporary work exploring themes of identity, memory, and the immigrant experience. The afternoon concludes with Beethovens spirited Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 36, showcasing the composers bold and evolving symphonic voice.
