A musical genius is born into circumstances that nourish his talent\, but starve him emotionally. He has an innate\, unwavering desire to cure suffering with music that expresses a more perfect world. More than 250 years later\, we are drawn again to Beethoven’s phenomenal musical imagination\, compassion\, and charismatic vision to find meaning and inspiration. Immerse yourself in his world and his music\, and understand how his music evolved over his lifetime\, with a documentary film\, narrated chamber recitals featuring exciting guest artists\, and various other settings of Beethoven’s work across the Festival. \nWaterfall’s productions always present exciting\, absorbing playing of great music\, but are also rare\, distinctive examples of what can be called music education\, though they’re more conversational\, truly a sharing of perspective\, interest\, anecdote. There’s a sense of immediacy to her delivery\, weaving in and out of the playing\, an intimately conceived present awareness of this heritage. It’s something unique that needs to be experienced.” -Ken Bullock\, Berkeley Daily Planet\n \nExplore the Series \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \nBeethoven\, Now!\, curated by Susan Waterfall\, includes her documentary film on his life and music\, and performances of seventeen of his works spread over nine symphony and chamber concerts.

Her passionate singing is expressive\, romantic and sensual. Her solos burn and elevate the groove.”- AllMusic Carolyn Wonderland is the sound of Texas. She’s a feisty free-ranger\, lassoing a variety of roof-rattling styles into her own inimitable take on twangy blues dripping with honky-tonk grease.

It is size\, shape\, and color. It is language. Blind since birth\, Davis discovered a world of vivid\, vibrant color in music. A childhood appreciation for gospel and jazz gave way to a teenage obsession with hip-hop and R&B. Later\, Davis crossed paths with Afro-punk musicians\, rock artists\, and members of the Black rock & roll scene\, which opened up new worlds of sound.\nBrittany davis is the most compelling artist I’ve ever worked with. Her musical ear and keyboard skill\, humor\, honesty\, and sheer courage is a wonder to behold.”- Stone Gossard\, Pearl Jam \n\n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.

A musical genius is born into circumstances that nourish his talent\, but starve him emotionally. He has an innate\, unwavering desire to cure suffering with music that expresses a more perfect world. More than 250 years later\, we are drawn again to Beethoven’s phenomenal musical imagination\, compassion\, and charismatic vision to find meaning and inspiration. Immerse yourself in his world and his music\, and understand how his music evolved over his lifetime\, with a documentary film\, narrated chamber recitals featuring exciting guest artists\, and various other settings of Beethoven’s work across the Festival. \nWaterfall’s productions always present exciting\, absorbing playing of great music\, but are also rare\, distinctive examples of what can be called music education\, though they’re more conversational\, truly a sharing of perspective\, interest\, anecdote. There’s a sense of immediacy to her delivery\, weaving in and out of the playing\, an intimately conceived present awareness of this heritage. It’s something unique that needs to be experienced.” -Ken Bullock\, Berkeley Daily Planet\n \nExplore the Series \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \nBeethoven\, Now!\, curated by Susan Waterfall\, includes her documentary film on his life and music\, and performances of seventeen of his works spread over nine symphony and chamber concerts.
