Put on your party clothes, and get ready to enjoy some of the most remarkable music ever written in the history of humankind. From its opening notes, Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony is a work of ambition, energy and heroic proportions — a piece so paradigm-shifting that listeners didn’t even know what to make of it in Beethoven’s day. Experience this landmark symphony in all its epic grandeur with your GRAMMY®-winning Nashville Symphony in the stunning setting of Schermerhorn Symphony Center.
