Britt Music & Arts Festival: Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony

Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony at the Jacksonville Britt Music & Arts Festival – 6/27/26

A celebration of nature in all its majesty, Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony vividly evokes the sounds of summer — including babbling brooks, birdsong, and a violent storm — while the soaring soprano lines of Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 conjure equally tranquil scenes in a nostalgic exploration of family life in the American South.
