Concert Prelude Video: Beethoven's Ninth

Joseph Giunta and the Orchestra are joined by a soaring choir in Beethoven’s joyful anthem for humanity
The Symphony’s April concert opens with the heroic trumpet call of Beethoven’s Leonore Overture and the meditative, ringing resonance of Pärt’s Fratres. Janice Chandler-Eteme makes a memorable return singing Wagner’s passionate Liebestod. Finally, the Orchestra is joined onstage by the Iowa State Singers, Des Moines Choral Society, and four soloists for Beethoven’s landmark Ninth Symphony. You’ll be swept off your feet as the Orchestra is joined by a soaring chorus singing the immortal, triumphant “Ode to Joy.”

The Orchestra and choirs will dedicate Beethoven's symphony of joy and brotherhood to the people of Ukraine. Each performance will conclude with a performance of the Ukrainian national anthem.

Join us early! Concert Prelude Talks led by Dr. Eric McIntyre begin 45 minutes prior to each Masterworks concert in the Prairie Meadows (East) Lobby.
