York Symphony Orchestra – Carmen Meets Beethoven: Immortal Beloved

  • Appell Center for the Performing Arts 50 North George Street York, PA, 17401 United States (map)

York Symphony Orchestra presents Carmen Meets Beethoven, featuring Nancy’s boldly imagined violin concerto, Immortal Beloved, with soloist Denise Dillenbeck on violin. This work reclaims a forgotten history hidden within one of classical music’s most enduring mysteries: the identity of the unnamed woman addressed in Beethoven’s impassioned “Immortal Beloved” letter. Through lush orchestration, expressive solo writing, and meticulously embedded musical ciphers, this work gives voice to nine women—artists, muses, and visionaries—whose lives intersected with Beethoven’s, yet who have been largely silenced by history.
