Music and a Marathon
Stephen Alltop, Music Director
Fall is always an exciting time of year: new faces, new projects and new possibilities. I always love starting a new season with the Elmhurst Symphony. I could happily conduct Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony every day of my life. With its jubilant outer movements, rollicking scherzo and soulful second movement, this symphony feeds every part of my soul.
While I am looking forward to the ESO performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 on October 17th, I’m counting on that music to help me in next Sunday’s Chicago Marathon (I usually think through pieces I love on long runs). If the weather is good, I’m hoping to better my previous best marathon time of 3:56. We’ll see!
