LvanB! with Scott Foglesong

November 12, 2022 - 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

HERE IS THE LINK TO THE ARCHIVAL RECORDING OF THIS EVENT: https://youtu.be/RA3y4JwaIn8

Our guest is Professor Scott Foglesong who presents: “LvanB!” which Scott describes as “a heartfelt tribute to Ludwig van Beethoven, he who gave us Kunst with a capital K, HE whose Ninth Symphony Wagner described as “the mystical goal of all my strange thoughts and desires about music.” While we’re (belatedly) celebrating LvanB’s 250th birthday, we’ll try to keep the strange desires to a minimum.

Scott Foglesong is Chair of Music Theory and Musicianship, Technology and Applied Musicianship at San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Foglesong also teaches at U.C. Berkeley and the Fromm Institute. He annotates programs for the San Francisco Symphony, California Symphony, Philhamonia Baroque and the Las Vegas Symphony.
