Have you ever listened to a symphony and wanted to know more about it? A guest speaker will give a talk, along with example musical excerps from the orchestra. SBMS will then give a full performance of, in Beethoven’s own words, “one of my best works.” Also on the programme is Beethoven's Romance No. 2 for Violin and Orchestra, with our leader, Simon Ballard, as our violin soloist. This concert is sponsored by the Hervey Benham Charitable Trust. Programme Beethoven: Coriolan Overture, Op. 62 Beethoven: Romance No. 2 for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 50 (soloist, Simon Ballard) Beethoven: Symphony No. 7, Op. 92
