John O’Conor, piano
Leonore Overture No. 3

Escape into the endless pleasures of Beethoven’s Third Symphony, “Eroica.” The Third swept away conventional ideas of what a symphony should be – and led us all into revolutionary musical territory. Acclaimed Irish pianist John O’Conor performs the groundbreaking and passionate Third Piano Concerto: Beethoven’s only piano concerto written in a minor key. This is Beethoven’s genius in its purest form.
