Would Beethoven have found meaning in the music of Coldplay?  Next week, the Southwest Florida Symphony will blur the line between classical and contemporary in a performance blending Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony with the music of the British rock band Coldplay. 

 

We’ll hear from the mastermind behind this unique symphonic mashup; conductor, composer and arranger Steve Hackman

 

We'll also talk with Soutwest Florida Symphony Executive Director Amy Ginsburg
