Symphony No.8 F Dur, op.93

The Eighth symphony was written by Beethoven in just five months. Beside its small size, it is distinguished by a modest instrumentation, which was previously used by the composer ten years before, in the Second symphony. The Eighth is canonic both in its form and in spirit, this is a return to good old traditions of Vienna classics. If Haydn who died a few years before could hear it he would most certainly exclaim, “This is exactly how it should be done, and what was I saying? Rules should be observed!”

Performers:

Lemberger Solisten orchestra founded on the basis of Lviv National Music Academy with century-old traditions sees its mission in forming high status of Ukrainian culture in the world music scene. Transcribed for octet and timbals, performed by Lemberger Solisten, the Eighth symphony becomes especially enchanting.

Location:

Lviv Tram Depot Lem Station

Three one-storeyed brick buildings, one of which is crowned with a 30-meter pipe, in the late 19^th century became the symbol of technical progress in Lviv. From here the first electric trams went on their routs one hundred and fifty years ago, and this was the place of the first Lviv power station. Today the tram depot is one of the most significant and unusual concert venues in Ukraine.
