Join us on June 13 for the Beethoven 5K and support Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra! Why Beethoven? The opening four-note motif of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is one of the most recognizable and iconic sequences in classical music. Beethoven's influence is immeasurable, and he left an enduring legacy that continues to inspire musicians and audiences. It is also known that Beethoven found inspiration in nature and often composed while walking in the countryside. He believed that spending time outdoors helped stimulate his creativity.
