Beethovens Negende — Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest
A nostalgic, uplifting choral night.
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony celebrates brotherhood and hope. In the days leading up to Christmas, this concert offers a vision of a harmonious world. Written two centuries ago, the Ninth Symphony remains a landmark of humanity and artistic achievement. The performance begins with Arvo Pärt's contemplative 'Fratres' (Brothers), which provides a meditative contemporary contrast to Beethoven's powerful 'Ode to Joy'.
