Charlotte Symphony Streams Beethoven and Schubert for Virtual Audience

By Timothy H. Lindeman, CVNC 

The Charlotte Symphony, led by music director Christopher Warren-Green, served up an evening of Beethoven and Schubert fare Saturday night. Guest violinist Nathan Meltzer was the fine soloist for the two Romances for Violin, Op. 40, in G, and Op. 50, in F, by Ludwig van Beethoven (Germany, 1770-1827). The congenial Symphony No. 5, in B-flat, D. 485 (1816) by Franz Schubert (Austria, 1797-1828) closed out the concert.

Christopher James Lees, Resident Conductor, presented some introductory remarks before each of the two sets.
