Beethoven Septet Goes Modern

  • Goethe-Institut Boston 170 Beacon Street Boston, MA, 02116 United States (map)

In celebration of Beethoven’s 250th birthday in 2020, the Goethe-Institut Boston commissioned the composers Heather Stebbins and DM R, both with strong ties to Boston, to compose works based on his Septet in E-flat major, op. 20. The premiere, performed by ensembles Sound Icon and Winsor Music alongside Beethoven’s septet, was to be premiered in November 2020 but had to be postponed due to the pandemic. We are thrilled to be able to present the concert in person a year later to a reduced audience.
