At the world premiere of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 for large orchestra, choir and soloists, the soloists had to turn Beethoven, who was deaf by that point, towards the audience to receive the applause. The symphony was an enormous success. Beethoven had composed a work for the future; for freedom, peace and solidarity.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience one of history’s most magnificent choral works, with the famous song Ode to Joy, a symbol of brotherhood throughout the ages celebrating 200 years in 2024.
Toru Takemitsu was a master of atmosphere who gladly took inspiration from nature, jazz, pop music and the avant-garde. The piece Paths was written as a tribute to Lutoslawski, once composed for the internationally renowned Swedish trumpet player Håkan Hardenberger. Tonight the Symphony Orchestra’s solo trumpet player Per Ivarsson takes on the work.
Together with Einojuhani Rautavaara’s moving Requiem from 1953, the evening carves out a path towards peace and embraces the power of community.
