Akron Symphony Orchestra presents Beethoven's Seventh

What do you get when you blend the elegance of Beethoven, the soul of Ellington, and the sparkle of Bernstein? A concert that dances. Beethoven’s Seventh isn’t just “good.”… Wagner called it the “apotheosis of the dance.” It’s yet another joyous display of brilliance out of one of music’s all-time greats. University of Akron professor Chris Coles, our saxophone soloist, brings the cool to the Duke’s Three Black Kings, and Bernstein’s West Side Story Symphonic Dances round it all off with jazzy brilliance. We open the night with a special debut of UofA student Sarah Hegenderfer’s Clearing of Snow. This one’s for your head, your heart, and your hips.
