Two centuries after his passing, Beethoven’s music remains as popular as ever. To honor his contribution to orchestral music, the Beaver Dam Area Orchestra will perform three works by the master composer. Highlighting the evening is the return of pianist Daniel Kuzuhara, whose performance at our Spring 2024 concert amazed the audience. Kuzuhara takes the stage once again to perform one of Beethoven’s immortal piano concertos.
