Beethoven Symphony 9

Presentation
Concert

„Alle Menschen werden Brüder“: if Friedrich Schiller’s idealistic — and today particularly urgent — motto has been ingrained in our collective memory, then it is largely thanks to the Ninth Symphony. Based on a simple, recognizable melody, Ludwig van Beethoven builds up a masterful series of variations in his final movement that conveys Schiller’s hopeful Ode to Joy.

Conductor Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra present the Ninth in all its wealth and power, illustrating how Beethoven dispensed with all conventions. To mark both the 70th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome and Beethoven’s anniversary year, a mass chorus of more than a hundred voices, including several young singers from the MM Academy, will be descending on Brussels from every EU member state.
