QPO Presents: Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony

February 7, 2026 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM Katara Cultural Village, Opera House

Join the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra (QPO) and Maestro Pablo Mielgo for an evening that journeys from lyricism and elegance to symphonic revolution. The concert opens with Brahms’ radiant Variations on a Theme by Haydn, a masterpiece of orchestral color. QPO’s oboist German Díaz Blanco then takes center stage in Richard Strauss’ Concerto for Oboe in D major, a virtuosic and poetic work that is hued with late-Romantic warmth. After the intermission, the orchestra turns to one of the defining works in music history, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, “Eroica.” Bold and expansive, the “Eroica” reshaped what a symphony could be.
