"Joy, beautiful spark of the gods, daughter of Elysium..." - do you need to say more to encourage humming along? Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is not only the famous ode "Ode to Joy" in the final movement. It is the first symphony ever in which a composer used a choir. (In our concert, in addition to the Philharmonic Choirs, it is also the Slovak Philharmonic Choir.) And with its approximately 70 minutes, it already exceeded any normal length during Beethoven's lifetime. Furthermore, it continues to impress even today in its movements without singing through an artful handling of melodies and keys. Reasons enough to look forward to a very special concert.
