New Year's Eve with Beethoven's Ninth

Ring in the new year with Beethoven’s iconic Ninth Symphony, a classical masterwork that celebrates the unity of all mankind. The piece ends with the development of the ever-hopeful ‘Ode to Joy’ theme, with a choir of voices singing the words of a poem by Friedrich Schiller. And like any good New Year’s party, the symphony ends with a kiss... ‘You millions, I embrace you./This kiss is for all the world!’
