Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival, August 7, 2016: Beethoven's Septet

Sunday, August 7, 2016, 6:30 pm

Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

By far Beethoven’s most popular work during his lifetime, the expansive and charmingly delightful Septet captures the young composer’s impish brilliance and compositional mastery. Beethoven ushered in the Romantic style of music to follow, laying the groundwork for the lush, orchestral textures of Josef Rheinberger’s Nonet. Combined, it makes for an evening not to be missed.
