The culmination of Berwaldhallen’s Beethoven Jubilee, two of his greatest and most important works with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, The Swedish Radio Choir, Chief Conductor Daniel Harding and world-class soloists. When Beethoven wrote his Symphony No. 9, his genius was unaffected by the fact that he had now lost almost all of his hearing; neither is the music gloomy or despondent. On the contrary, the famous final movement with Ode to Joy is among the most life-affirming music ever written.Tickets released 15 August
