Beethoven: Leonore Overture No. 3
John Adams: Absolute Jest
Stravinsky: Petrushka

Beethoven’s 250^th birthday celebration may have been postponed by the pandemic, but GTMF will re-light the candles with the composer’s fascinating opera in miniature and a tribute work by one of America’s most important and prolific voices. Stravinsky’s daring musical love triangle completes this program of high drama and scathing wit.
