In Eroica, Beethoven both upset and energized the musical world by the range of emotion this symphony expresses. His special genius unites a wide range of emotions with perfectly constructed music. Inspired by the Roman General Coriolanus, Beethoven created a musical canvas baring the emotions of the Hero’s Journey in his Coriolan Overture. The pathways Beethoven creates in both pieces allow us to re-experience our own Hero’s journey. As a humanist, he believed the Hero redeems humanity through the arts, including music. Although deaf by 1820, he still composed many works, including his towering Ninth Symphony, surely a Hero’s journey.

Beethoven stunned the world with his “Triple Concerto”. Trio Foss, a fusion of three wonderful Bay Area musicians: acclaimed soloist and chamber musician violinist Hrabba Atladottir, Grammy nominated cellist Nina Flyer, and international performing Steinway artist Joseph Irrera, take Beethoven’s “Triple Concerto” to new and exciting heights.
