What: 2008 Alliance Bank Beethoven Festival rehearsal
Where: Goldstein Auditorium
When: Today, 2 p.m.
How Much: Free
Three centuries later and classical composer Ludwig van Beethoven still is going strong. Take that Lou Bega.
Syracuse Symphony Orchestra's (SSO) Beethoven Festival open rehearsal performs for free today at 2 p.m. in Goldstein Auditorium in the Schine Student Center in preparation for the 2008 Alliance Bank Beethoven Festival from Jan. 16-28 at the OnCenter.
"It is a chance for college students to experience a different type of music," said Stephanie Salanger, public relations director for SSO.
Salanger said a main goal for this free open rehearsal is to get young students to recognize these classical music symphonies, such as Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" (Italian for "Heroic," it's a piece originally dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte) and Piano Concerto No. 2, in the age of media convergence when classical symphonies are heard frequently in today's popular culture.
Salanger said if students attend this open rehearsal, they will recognize many of the symphony pieces because they have heard them somewhere else on television, the radio
or in films and say, "Oh yeah, I remember that."
The actual concert, the 2008 Alliance Bank Beethoven Festival, runs January 10-27, and tickets are $5 for students and $15 and up for the general public.
"We've made it easy for the students so they can try to see if they like it while it's free," Salanger said. "We're offering students a chance in their own backyard hoping that they'll love it, and buy tickets for the actual concert."
