Digging into Beethoven’s Eroica

Two hundred years ago, the world lost Beethoven. This spring, the DPO invites you to celebrate everything he left behind. Garden of Your Mind centers on the Eroica: a symphony so bold, so ahead of its time, that even Beethoven himself said it gave him the greatest pleasure of anything he ever wrote. If you’ve never heard it live, now is the moment. If you have, you already know why we built a concert around it.

Scott O’Neil brings a personal lens to this program, drawing unexpected connections between Beethoven’s creative process and the slow, patient art of gardening: seeds planted, ideas tended, and something extraordinary finally breaking through the surface.
