The Columbus Symphony presents the greatest symphony of all time
Often hailed as the most central work of western classical music as well as 'the symphony to end all symphonies', Beethoven's Ninth is the apex of technical and compositional mastery as well as imagination. Experience the monumental work as performed by the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and rising Canadian conductor Jean-Marie Zeitouni, with added musical magic from a quartet of solo singers and a massed chorus.
Composed and first performed in 1824, the Ninth would be Beethoven's final complete symphony, so it's fitting that it would contain his most well-known melody. Pushing the symphonic structure to its absolute limits, the epic journey immortalizes the unity of mankind and its place in the universe, culminating in the ever-popular and ebullient Ode To Joy finale.
