Widely celebrated as the greatest music ever written, Beethoven’s final musical declaration is the ultimate testament to the human spirit through the power of music. The Pasadena Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Beethoven’s piece, joined by a full chorus, is not to be missed! LA-based composer Morten Lauridsen, one of the hottest tickets in choral music, complements the program with two original compositions, his song cycle set to the poems of Robert Graves and Nocturnes.
Beethoven’s Ninth is unlike any by any other symphony in Los Angeles.
“Who’s writing classical music these days that’s accessible enough to satisfy lay listeners, yet serious enough to impress trained musicians? Morten Lauridsen, that’s who.” – The Wall Street Journal
