Oregon Bach Festival: Beethoven - Symphony No. 9
The festival reaches its grand conclusion with one of the greatest compositions of all time. Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is made even more remarkable by the fact that, at its premiere in 1824, Beethoven was completely deaf. The triumphant work culminates with the iconic, transformative finale – the famous Ode to Joy chorus.
