A Deep Dive into the Fate Symphony with Wolfgang Plagge and the Oslo Philharmonic

What actually happens inside a piece of music? What did the composer think, and what techniques did he or she use to create what you hear? Wolfgang Plagge and the Oslo Philharmonic invite you to a new deep dive into Beethoven's Fate Symphony, where you get close to one of the best-known works in classical music. With pianist and music communicator Wolfgang Plagge as guide, and the Oslo Philharmonic's musicians on stage, we go thoroughly through Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, often called the Fate Symphony. With musical examples, historical context and demonstrations on piano and with orchestra, we open up the work layer by layer. Beethoven: when fate knocks at the door Beethoven died on 26 March 1827. Two hundred years and a few days later, Wolfgang Plagge takes you into Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Come past the famous opening notes. Perhaps you will find something new in a piece you have probably heard many times before. What is a Deep Dive? This is not an ordinary concert. Here you get to know the music from the inside. The aim is for you to understand and know the piece better, and to take away tools that make the experience even richer when you hear it in its full length during the concert week.
