Our first concert of 2012 is a spectacular collaboration between Strathfield Symphony Orchestra and the Wesley Institute Choir to present Beethoven’s Choral Symphony. The ninth and last Symphony in D minor op 125 opens with three orchestral movements, then explodes the conventions of the time in the mighty fourth movement, which introduces four soloists and full choir in the rapturous Ode to Joy to words by Schiller. More than 100 musicians will thrill you in Sadaharu Muramatsu’s first concert as Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor.
