From the Festival Brochure:
“He proposes to compose Schiller’s Freude, strophe by strophe. I expect something perfect, since he is wholly devoted to the great and sublime” — Fischenich Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and in particular it’s final choral movement based upon the Schiller poem has long been considered one of the most sublime pieces ever written. Jamie Sommerville leads an all-star orchestra of some of your favourite Festival musicians and the Elmer Iseler Singers. Be swept away by Beethoven’s remarkable celebration of fellowship and joy and the human spirit. We couldn’t imagine a better way to close our 35th season than to share our joy with all of you.
