ONTARIO, Calif. - Californer -- Southland Symphony Orchestra Presents
Beethoven: Music of Revolution and Triumph - Eroica: Sounds of Revolution and Democracy

Ontario, CA — The Southland Symphony Orchestra invites audiences to experience the power and passion of Beethoven at his most revolutionary in an all-Beethoven concert on Sunday, February 22, 2026 at 4:00 PM, at Bethel Congregational Church, 536 N. Euclid Avenue, Ontario, California.

Written in an age of upheaval and idealism, Beethoven's music transformed the Classical tradition into something bold, expansive, and unmistakably heroic. This program brings together three of his most compelling works: the fiery Egmont Overture, the dramatic Leonore Overture No. 3, and the monumental Symphony No. 3, "Eroica." Together, they embody the spirit of struggle, freedom, and triumph that defined both Beethoven's world—and our own.
