Beethoven's Ninth
Joseph Giunta and the Orchestra are joined by a soaring choir in Beethoven’s joyful anthem for humanity
Our April concerts open with the heroic trumpet call of Beethoven’s Leonore Overture and Pulitzer Prize-winning African-American composer George Walker’s serene Lyric for Strings. Finally, the Orchestra is joined onstage by two choirs and four soloists for Beethoven’s landmark Ninth Symphony. You’ll be swept off your feet as the Orchestra is joined by a soaring chorus singing the immortal, triumphant “Ode to Joy.”
