A spectacular concert by the RTS Symphony Orchestra, violinist Stefan Milenković, and maestro Srboljub Dinić will mark the day of the Kolarac Concert Hall – February 4. For this occasion, on the programme will be the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra and Symphony No. 3 “Eroica” by Ludwig van Beethoven.
Beethoven wrote his only concerto for violin and orchestra in 1806, in a happy period of his life, in which he wrote several masterpieces, including the Fourth Symphony, the Fourth Piano Concerto, overtures to Coriolan and Leonora 3, as well as three string quartets in the opus dedicated to Count Razumovsky. It was a time of true creative momentum in which Beethoven, summing up his creative experience, was able to realize his poetic and visionary, humane messages.
Ludwig van Beethoven’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra is considered one of the most difficult in the entire literature written for this instrument. One can only imagine how revolutionary, bold, and demanding it was at the time when Beethoven wrote them.
The “Eroica” Symphony is Ludwig van Beethoven’s first major symphonic work, which represents the beginning of a new creative period. However, the audience thought otherwise. They did not like that it lasted almost twice as long as typical symphonies of the era. That’s why they characterized the work as “too long and chaotic”. Even the recognizable two chords at the beginning were considered “rough” and “indecent” for a symphonic opening. Today, in general, they are the most recognizable motifs in the history of music.
The concert starts at 8 p.m. The tickets are on sale at the box office of the Kolarac endowment and via kolarac.rs.
