What better way to round off the year than with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No 9? In no other work has the composer expressed his passionate appeal for humanity, freedom and solidarity with such power and timelessness.

What better way to round off the year than with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No 9? In no other work has the composer expressed his passionate appeal for humanity, freedom and solidarity with such power and timelessness.

While certainly lending a festive glow to the year’s end, the Ninth is far more than a musical masterpiece: As we look forward to the coming year, it expresses hope and is a timely plea for unity across all borders.  The French conductor Maxime Pascal will be bringing this special evening to life together with a quartet of top-class soloists, the Philharmonic Choir and the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra.
