About
Nature's Rhapsody Festival: Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony & The Rite of Spring will be performed live in Houston February 19–21, 2027 with the Houston Symphony at Jones Hall.
Beethoven was a keen nature lover, and his sunny Pastoral Symphony flings the gates wide open to nature’s wonders in full bloom, complete with sparkling brooks, chirping birds, jolly country folk, a ferocious thunderstorm, and the restorative calm after the storm.
The natural world pulses and pounds in all its raw, primal power in Stravinsky’s red-hot The Rite of Spring—a stunning force of nature, with a gravitational pull all its own.
“How happy I am to be able to wander among the bushes and grass, under trees and over rocks—no man can love the country as I love it" — Ludwig van Beethoven
