2025-09-20 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Halifax) | The Scott Center at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, 5625 Holy Trinity Dr, Melbourne, FL, 32940, United States
Three extraordinary soloists team up for a one of a kind work, Beethoven’s “Triple” Concerto, one of Beethoven’s most soulful, challenging, and charming concertos. When played by musicians of the caliber of Lindsay Garritson, Carey Moorman and Isaac Moorman, Beethoven’s masterful piano trio with orchestra is three times the fun of a solo concerto. In a first, the SCSO is encouraging concertgoers to turn on their cell phones during the performance. Tan Dun’s Passacaglia: Secret of Wind and Birds brings nature to life in a mesmerizing blend of traditional symphonic sounds and recorded birdsong, creating a musical landscape alive with wonder and mystery. This piece is designed to be an interactive effort between the orchestra and the audience by using cell phones to play recorded sounds of bird calls during the performance. Rounding out the program is one of the most famous Symphony’s ever written, Beethoven’s Sixth. Noted for its blissful introduction, birdsong via woodwinds, and rumbling thunder of cellos, Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony embodies the calming charm of the countryside. In a letter to one of his beloved pupils, he wrote, “How happy I am to be able to wander among the bushes and grass, under trees and over rocks, no man can love the country as I love it.”
Tickets are $35 in advance for adults, available through the orchestra website at SpaceCoastSymphony.org or at Marine Bank & Trust in Suntree. Tickets at the door are $40. Concertgoers aged 18 and under or with a college ID are admitted free to every SCSO concert. In keeping with their mission, the symphony provides a unique Symphony for Everyone ticketing program, a “pay-what-you-can” option designed to provide substantially discounted admission to any Space Coast Symphony concert.
