SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - eTradeWire -- After its sold-out concert in early April, The Scottsdale Philharmonic will present its next concert on Sunday, May 11, 4-6 p.m., a "Lyrical Odyssey to Beethoven." Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist who revolutionized Western classical music.

"Beethoven is considered one of the greatest composers in Western European music history, and we are excited to share his music with attendees at this concert," says Joy Partridge, executive director of the Scottsdale Philharmonic.

"Our concert guests also will be able to participate in our annual silent auction, featuring items such as gift cards, event tickets, artwork, electronics, musical instruments, and more," explains Partridge. "We are accepting donations to our silent auction until May 1."

The program for the May 11 Beethoven concert, with Conductor Vanja Gjumar Nikolovski, will include:

"Since ticket sales cover only one-third of concert costs, we need the unwavering support and dedication of our donors.

"Thanks to our donors, we're able to provide more free tickets to students and veterans, free live streaming and scholarship programs," explains Partridge. "But, we still need your support.
