Part of
Quest for Joy.
“Quest for Joy,” the centerpiece of WQXR's Beethoven celebration, is a four-part series conceived, curated and hosted by conductor and MacArthur “Genius” Marin Alsop. In each episode, Alsop explores Beethoven’s music through the lens of the increasing isolation he experienced because of his hearing loss, showcasing the surprisingly prolific and expansive work that followed.
