Ode to Joy: Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra

Concert Details

Music Director Ken-David Masur began his tenure during the 250th birthday celebration of Beethoven, and this season we harken back to that milestone with the undeniable masterpiece that is Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Written after Beethoven’s most profound period of despair, the Ninth stands as an impassioned testament to life, friendship, and the human spirit. Author E.M. Forster once called it “the most sublime noise that has ever penetrated into the ear of man.”

The Milwaukee Symphony Chorus — celebrating its landmark 50th year — joins the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra to bring Ode to Joy and more to life.

Presented in connection with Violins of Hope: Wisconsin, presented by Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra.
