Beethoven Symphony No. 9 (“Choral”)
Beethoven’s mighty Ninth Symphony, conducted by Yannick, brings transcendent beauty and immense power, leaving listeners exalted and uplifted, with a program that begins with Florence Price’s beguiling Piano Concerto in One Movement.
Beloved by audiences for centuries, Beethoven’s mighty Ninth Symphony brings more power and more transcendent beauty than it seems possible for the heart to hold, leaving the listener exalted and uplifted. Yannick conducts soaring performances that feature some of today’s most powerful voices. The symphony’s indelible choral component, based on German poet Friedrich Schiller’s Ode to Joy, offers an intricately woven tapestry of sound and a supremely powerful finale—a call for freedom, equality, and unity.
To begin, Yannick continues the Orchestra’s exploration of the works of the great American composer Florence Price, in this case her Piano Concerto in One Movement. Price performed the premiere in 1934, but like many of this long-neglected composer’s works, the score was lost, only to be rediscovered and reconstructed decades later. Brightly melodic, this concerto has all the markings of Price’s best work—and leaves you wanting more.
