The Ninth. It’s been called Beethoven’s last grand experiment, the pinnacle of western classical music, and the symphony to end all symphonies. What better reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope prevails than to listen to what is one of the most often played and easily recognizable pieces of music of all time. After the challenges of the last few years, we can’t help but feel the unity and equality Beethoven wanted this work to inspire. Join us for this monumental season finale!

* The May 3 concert is part of the Spotlight Series subscription.

** Please note: these concerts will not include an intermission.
