LISTENING SPACES VOL. III

Beethoven's Seventh Symphony in A major, Op. 92.

17 January 2026 | 13:30 for 14:00 | Bridge Books, Marshalltown

After the transformative success of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and the intimacy of Schubert's String Quintet, we're returning to Bridge Books for a guided encounter with one of classical music's most arresting works.

Beethoven's Seventh moves like a conversation between defiance and surrender. We'll explore what makes this symphony so visceral—why it grips, why it questions, why it matters. With expert guidance and post-colonial critical engagement, you'll discover what this work asks of you.

Bridge Books has proven the perfect partner for this series: downtown, accessible, intimate enough for genuine connection. Limited seats preserve the experience that makes these gatherings transformative.

Please book early. This isn't passive listening—it's self-discovery through sound. We laugh, we tease, we find joy in music as it was meant to be: shared and transformative.

Limited capacity | R50 per person | Wheelchair accessible
