What is it about Beethoven’s 9th Symphony that sets it apart? Maybe it’s the innovative musical structure. Maybe it’s the way Beethoven blends themes of chaos, redemption, grace, and struggle so effortlessly. Or it could be that this piece culminates, as John Henken of the LA Philharmonic writes, “expressing our highest aspirations with music of life-affirming exaltation.”
For the first time in our history the BSO will perform Beethoven’s iconic 9th Symphony. Joined by a 100-member community chorus on the stage of Indiana University’s Musical Arts Center (MAC), this is shaping up to be an unforgettable concert experience.
