Experience the powerful finale of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 — one of the most iconic pieces in classical music history. Completed in 1824, this symphony was Beethoven’s final major orchestral work and the first to feature a full chorus and vocal soloists in a symphony. The final movement, often referred to as the “Ode to Joy,” sets Friedrich Schiller’s poem to music in a triumphant celebration of universal brotherhood and hope. Composed while Beethoven was profoundly deaf, this masterpiece is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transcendent power of music.
