About the concert

An ode to joy, to freedom and to brotherhood. Beethoven's 9th Symphony is a symbol of everything that unites us - and a testament to the unifying power of music. “Beethoven's 9th Symphony is a reminder of why we make music together: Not to find answers, but to insist on hope – loudly, urgently and together. ” – Dmitry Matvienko The most iconic work in the concert hall: Beethoven's 9th Symphony is the epitome of classical orchestral music for music lovers everywhere on the globe. We share the goosebumps when the human voices join with the music in the ecstatic final movement. For 200 years this very symphony has celebrated freedom and community. Today, more than ever before, it is a living, organic proof that great classical music is a unifying and empowering force. The 9th Symphony is the symbol of the encounter with music, with joy – with the greatest thing in life. It is simply part of our shared musical heritage – quite literally: The manuscript of the work has been named a World Heritage item by UNESCO. At the concert in Symfonisk Sal you can thus meet the truly great music on an entirely ordinary November evening: World heritage in everyday life. The concerts are supported by Knud Højgaards Fond Programme: Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 9
