JOY AND GRANDEUR: THE NINTH SYMPHONY

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, with its iconic “Ode to Joy,” closes this festival on a majestic note. A monumental fresco, it is an exhortation for universal peace and brotherhood. In 2001, the score was designated as one of UNESCO’s official cultural heritage treasures.
