Noted conductor Manfred Honeck leads the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and German vocalist Matthias Goerne — who  is considered one of the world’s finest opera singers and  — in a program centered on a famed Beethoven work.

Founded in 1895 by British composer, conductor and organist Frederic Archer (1838-1901), the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is one of America’s oldest and most prestigious orchestras having performed around the world including a 2004 concert for Pope John Paul II (1920-2005).

German composer Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) wrote his “Eroica” symphony in 1803. One of the composer’s most celebrated works, the symphony is a large-scale composition that marked the beginning of Beethoven’s creative middle-period.
