Bruckner
Te Deum’
Beethoven
Symphony No.9 Choral

For many composers who came after Beethoven, his Ninth Symphony seemed to represent an insurmountable peak. Who could ever write a symphony to equal it?

It traces a journey from darkness into light, with its tempestuous opening movements, full of turmoil and terror, being resolved by the setting of Schiller’s Ode to Joy in the startling choral finale.

The concert opens with Bruckner’s Te Deum, a thrilling work and an exultant acclamation of his faith and belief in God.
