Beethoven Symphony No. 9 – August 23, 2020 LiveEvents August 20, 2020 941 BSO Encore Performances from Tanglewood Beethoven Symphony No. 9 Hosted by Jamie Bernstein For decades, the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Tanglewood season has concluded with a joyous performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. This concert features the orchestra’s most recent performance of that iconic work, led by frequent BSO guest conductor Giancarlo Guerrero and featuring four outstanding American soloists along with, as always, our own Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Best known for its glorious theme-and-variations finale setting Friedrich Schiller’s “Ode to Joy,” the Ninth Symphony was Beethoven’s final completed orchestral score, a work whose extraordinary emotional power and innovative artistry is still compelling in 2020 as we celebrate Beethoven’s 250th anniversary year. Featured Performers & Ensembles Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor Nicole Cabell, soprano J’Nai Bridges, mezzo-soprano Nicholas Phan, tenor Morris Robinson, bass Tanglewood Festival Chorus James Burton Available August 23, 2020 at 2:30pm through August 30, 2020 www.bso.org/Performance www.bso.org Related
