Beethoven2027@FSU Concert I: Aria to Variations

Join us at the Museum of Fine Arts on Thursday, September 24, 6:00PM to see "Beethoven2027@FSU Concert I: Aria to Variations".

From opera arias to instrumental variations, this program traces Beethoven's dialogue with Mozart and Handel, revealing how familiar melodies are transformed through imagination and invention.

Beethoven2027@FSU: Shared Freedom is a year-long, seven-concert celebration of Ludwig van Beethoven's chamber music, honoring the bicentenary of his passing.

Curated by Dr. Qing Jiang, Associate Professor of Piano and Director of Keyboard Collaborative Arts, the series features FSU students, alumni, faculty, and guest artists, and centers on Beethoven's violin sonatas, cello sonatas, variation sets, and songs, alongside our "Letters to Beethoven," a commissioning initiative that brings new works by FSU composers into dialogue with his legacy.

Together, these programs explore transformation, collaboration, humor, innovation, and artistic freedom, inviting audiences to experience Beethoven as a living creative force whose music continues to inspire new generations.

Beethoven2027@FSU: Shared Freedom is sponsored by the College of Music and is presented in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts. All performances are free and open to the public. Free parking is available in Call Street Garage.
