The genius epic for all the world

Ground-breaking, colossal, monumental – Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 is among the most popular pieces of music…ever. Developed by Creative Partner David Robertson and featuring Utah Symphony Chorus, this extraordinary night culminates with the crown jewel “Ode to Joy” that uplifts everyone who hears it. Ironically, Beethoven never did, as he was deaf by the Ninth’s premiere. A stylistic bridge between the Classical and Romantic periods, Beethoven’s pinnacle connects and celebrates humanity, often called upon over the last 200 years when peace and unity were needed most.
