And like that, the next decade as begun. For classical music nerd such as yours truly, 2020 represents, among so much else, the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth and so it’s only fitting that the first Night Out offering of the New Year is chock full o’ Ludwig. And that’s thanks to the 5 Borough Music Festival.

This Sunday afternoon, we’ll gather in the beautiful
Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church to hear a world-class piano trio - the Longleash Trio - unleash two Beethoven masterworks and then some.

We start with LvB’s op. 1/3 Piano Trio in C minor, an early work, but possessed of all the storm and fury that would characterize our man till the very end, and follow it with a middle-Beethoven miracle, his Op. 70/1 Piano Trio - the Ghost, a piece both haunting and rollicking.

It’ll be followed to two contemporary responses to the Beethoven - one by the giant of modern music, John Zorn, with a piece called Ghosts, and we’ll finish with a world premier of a piece by Reiko Füting called free — whereof — wherefore.

We’ve got a stack of discounted tickets for $20 - but it’s limited, so make your move if you want to join!
