Cambridge Philharmonic – Ode to Joy
Saturday January 18, 2025
£15.00 – £30.00A glorious combination of one of Mozart’s best-loved works and the towering masterpiece that is Beethoven’s last symphony makes this a completely unmissable evening. Cambridge Philharmonic’s Music Director Harry Sever directs Mozart’s Piano Concerto in A Major from the keyboard – a work that sparkles with light, laughter and love.
Beethoven’s 9th Symphony – written when the composer was completely deaf – continues to stagger audiences and musicians alike with its bold colours, epoch-defining scale and heart-breaking humanity: a symphonic journey like no other.== The work culminates in soloists and chorus declaiming words from Schiller’s An die freude (Ode to joy), a paeon to nature and friendship.
‘Be embraced, all you millions! Share this kiss with all the world!’
Tickets: £15, £20, £25, £30. Student concessions available.
