Beethoven 8 and 9

Friday 29 January 2027, 19:30Grieghallen - Griegsalen, Bergen

About the concert

One of the best-known works of classical music. Beethoven's jubilant ninth symphony is one of the most performed and best-known works of classical music. The symphony is a musical icon, not least known for its mighty final chorus with full orchestra, choir and soloists. Before the Beethoven festivities conclude with the ode to joy, the orchestra performs the elegant and light Symphony No. 8, which can perhaps be read as a glance back to his predecessors Haydn and Mozart. Programme: Ludwig van Beethoven / Symphony No. 8 Ludwig van Beethoven / Symphony No. 9
