Steve Hackman, conductor San Diego Symphony Orchestra Steve Hackman’s newest production celebrates and elevates the power of women by combining pop's Queen with classical music's King: Beethoven and Beyoncé. Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, the symphonic repertoire's most joyful and pulsing celebration of dance, is the canvas onto which Hackman seamlessly interweaves 15 of Beyoncé's most popular songs spanning her entire catalog, including, “Girls,” “Crazy in Love,” “Sorry,” “Cuff It,” “Single Ladies,” and “Texas Hold 'Em.” The production’s emotional peak features the soulful union of two of the most recognizable melodies from each composer: Beyoncé’s “Halo” and the hauntingly beautiful second movement from Beethoven’s seventh symphony. Hackman brings with him three powerhouse female soloists and a band featuring drums, guitar/keys and bass. Steve Hackman’s "Beethoven X Beyoncé" is a SoundFuse Production.
