Alexander Shelley, Artistic and Music Director
Soloists TBA
Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 in D minor, op.125, (“Choral”)
Few works speak as directly to the human spirit as Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Its final movement—an ecstatic vision of unity and joy—remains one of the most powerful artistic statements ever created. In a celebration of the arrival of the Pacific Symphony's new Music Director Alexander Shelley with full chorus and soloists, this performance offers not only a monumental musical experience, but a shared moment of hope and affirmation that resonates far beyond the concert hall.
