Vancouver Symphony goes all out for Beethoven The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s artistic director, Salvador Brotons, conducts an all-Beethoven concert at 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16, and 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 17, in the concert hall at Skyview High School, 1300 NW 139th Street. Guest artists are Vancouver physician Michael Liu, piano, Portland physician Thomas Hwang, violin, and Justin Kagan, cello. The program opens with the overture to Fideleo, which is followed by the Triple Concerto and concludes with Symphony No. 7. One hour before each concert Travis Hatton leads an audience discussion of the music about to be performed. Admission starts at $22. Students are admitted for $7. For further information, call 735-7278. Nearly a dozen persons won free tickets to this weekend’s symphony by correctly answering the symphony quiz question in the Insider, which was, “How many opportunities did Beethoven have to play for Mozart before the latter’s death?” The answer: Only once. In the spring of 1787, the 17-year-old Beethoven came to Vienna with the intent of making a big impression on its musical patrons with his piano playing. The story goes that when he did manage an appointment to play for Mozart, within minutes after Beethoven’s starting, Mozart ran into the next room, grabbed his wife and said, "You've got to come hear this Beethoven kid, he will make a big splash someday” (loosely translated). The death of his mother forced Beethoven back to Bonn (his home city) for longer than he intended, and when he returned to Vienna to stay a couple of years later, Mozart had died. One of the greatest “what ifs” of music history is, what if Beethoven would have had a chance to study with Mozart?—Travis Hatton.
