The North State Symphony’s annual youth concerts are next week. Maestro Scott Seaton and the symphony will collaborate with the accomplished pianist Bradley Martin to delve into the life and works of Ludwig Von Beethoven. They’ll demonstrate the genius behind Beethoven’s use of rhythm, harmony and melody to create the gold standard of symphonic music for centuries to come. Performances will take place March 5th at the Cascade Theatre in Redding and March 7th at Laxson Auditorium in Chico. A performance in Red Bluff on the 6th is sold out.
