Spectacular at the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every event I have attended at the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra. They seem to always do an excellent job.

At the onset of 33 Variations‚ it is evident that there are many parallels between the lives of both Beethoven and Katherine. The reasoning behind these parallels‚ however‚ is not revealed until Katherine delivers her final lecture. As Katherine begins her lecture‚ she starts by explaining the purpose of a hypothesis before then providing the audience with her own. “My hypothesis was that Beethoven wanted to use Diabelli’s waltz to show Vienna what a great masterwork he could create out of a grain
