LineUp

The Philadelphia Orchestra, led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, excels in classical music, fostering joy and connection in Philadelphia and worldwide through diverse programs.
Ludwig van Beethoven, a German composer and pianist from Bonn, bridged the Classical and Romantic eras with his innovative, emotionally intense music. Renowned for works like the "Moonlight Sonata," Fifth Symphony, and Ninth Symphony, he revolutionized instrumental music, elevating it to high art. He continued composing despite profound deafness.
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, composed 1822-1824 and premiered in Vienna, is a revolutionary choral symphony bridging Classical and Romantic styles. It is renowned for its grand scale, complex structure, and pioneering inclusion of vocal soloists and chorus in its iconic "Ode to Joy" finale, based on Friedrich Schiller's poem. A masterpiece symbolizing universal brotherhood, it stands as the Anthem of Europe.
