Gustavo Dudamel leads the LA Phil in a narrated performance of Beethoven’s music for the play. Leading off the evening is the world premiere of Ricardo Lorenz’s Humboldt’s Nature, inspired by the South American travels of Beethoven’s like-minded contemporary, philosopher and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt.
