In the final concert of the Beethoven's World series, ANAM musicians delve into Beethoven's heart and his yearning for an intimate connection. This longing, poignantly captured in his 1812 letter to the mysterious 'Immortal Beloved', reflects a love that remained unfulfilled, likely aimed at the unattainable Antonie Brentano.
