Beethoven’s Second Symphony (Optional dinner afterwards)

Let’s meet up for a Monday evening concert at Hamer Hall and enjoy Beethoven’s Second Symphony with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

We’ll meet at 6:10pm outside Hamer Hall so we have a little time to say hello before heading in. The concert starts at 6:30pm and runs for about 1 hour with no interval.

This concert is part of MSO’s Quick Fix at Half Six series, which includes a short presentation on Beethoven’s Second Symphony followed by the performance itself. It’s a nice option for anyone who enjoys classical music but also wants something shorter and easier to fit into a weekday evening.

The program includes:

• C.P.E. Bach – Sinfonia in D major, WQ183: first movement
• Locke – The Tempest: Curtain Theme
• Beethoven – Symphony No. 2

This meetup is mainly about enjoying the concert together in a relaxed, low-pressure way. Solo attendees are very welcome.
