Fate Knocks at the Door June 1, 2009

Beloved, popular and admired, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is one of the greatest musical masterpieces of and for all time. Its psychological portrayal of fate knocking at the door to the final affirmation of human freedom and dignity is sublime. The full triumphal impact on the inner self can only be fully appreciated in live performance by a great orchestra enjoyed locally amongst friends and neighbors.
