A glorious combination of one of Mozart’s best-loved works and the towering masterpiece that is Beethoven’s last symphony makes this a completely unmissable evening.
Cambridge Philharmonic’s Music Director Harry Sever directs Mozart’s Piano Concerto in A Major from the keyboard – a work that sparkles with light, laughter and love.
Beethoven’s 9th Symphony – written when the composer was completely deaf – continues to stagger audiences and musicians alike with its bold colours, epoch-defining scale and heart-breaking humanity: a symphonic journey like no other.
The work culminates in soloists and chorus declaiming words from Schiller’s An die Freude (Ode to joy), a paean to nature and friendship.
‘Seid umschlungen, Millionen! Diesen Kuss der ganzen Welt!’
‘Be embraced, all you millions! Share this kiss with all the world!’
