Beethoven and the Natural World

Beethoven found creative fuel in nature, and this concert celebrates that same inspiration. Violinist Alicia Hui performs alongside the WCO in an evening featuring works by Beethoven, Debussy, Ravel, Vaughan Williams, and Mahler—composers whose music echoes the beauty of the natural world. It's a chance to experience how these classical masters drew from their surroundings to create their art. Tickets range from $25 to $35. The performance runs two hours and takes place in the evening at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center, a fitting venue given the event's focus on nature and music. This is a wonderful outing for families who enjoy classical music and want to deepen their appreciation for how composers connect with the world around them.
