Beethoven: Classical and Romantic

Two hundred years after Beethoven’s death, the Symphony of the Potomac celebrates the revolutionary composer who transformed orchestral music—and the generations who carried that revolution forward. Bookended by two all-Beethoven programs, our 2026–27 season travels from Beethoven’s heroic innovation through the fire of the Russian tradition and Dvořák’s vibrant Bohemian voice.

Here, we explore Beethoven’s brighter side through two lively, inventive symphonies that bridge Classical elegance and Romantic expression.
Symphony No. 2
Symphony No. 4
