Munich Philharmonic: BeethovenEva Ollikainen (conductor)
This event is in the past.
More than almost any other work, Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Ninth” embodies the hope of solidarity and the universal longing for peace – a message that cannot be repeated often enough, but which is particularly moving and resonant on the even of a new year.

The symphony’s dramaturgical arc curves from darkness and indeterminacy to the moving choral finale with its universal commitment to humanity: an impressive expression of joie de vivre that defies all odds. Finnish conductor Eva Ollikainen makes her debut with the Munich Philharmonic at this year’s New Year’s Eve concerts together with a young, dynamic quartet of soloists and the Philharmonic Choir at her side. As chief conductor of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Eva Ollikainen has impressively succeeded in shifting the focus of the classical music world to the far north with genre-busting concert dramaturgies and discoveries of new young composers.
