Beethoven 9: Ode to Joy

The crowning glory of a genius

The combined forces of the Orchestra and Choir open this concert with Beethoven’s miniature masterpiece Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, before a cast of superstar soloists joins the Choir in the monumental Symphony No.9. 

A powerful homage to brotherhood and freedom, the Ninth is a work of unfathomable genius, especially given Beethoven’s near-total deafness at the time of its creation.
