Beethoven’s ‘Ninth’ at L'Auditori
Classical music’s most important symphony at L'Auditori on the 15th, 16th and 17th of January.
When you mention Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony , you’re talking about one of the most important pieces in the history of music. It’s the Ode to Joy, it’s a jewel of classicism and one of the most popular and best-known symphonies in the world. It almost changed Beethoven’s life since many people considered his decision to compose an hour of symphonic music with a choir at the end to be a sign of madness. Luckily, over time, this choral symphony has become one of the most transcendental and important works in classical music. In fact, in 2001 it was declared part of the spiritual heritage of mankind by UNESCO and it is considered by many to be a symbol of the freedom of men and women all over the world.
On the 15th, 16th and 17th of January, L’Auditori is set to welcome conductor Jan Willem de Vriend, the main guest conductor, together with Raquel Lojendio (soprano), Barbara Kozelj (mezzo), Gustavo Peña (tenor), Geert Smits (baritone), Cor Madrigal and Cor Lieder, who will interpret a work that everybody should see at least once in their lives. Tickets are available from €10 to €56 on L’Auditori website.
