‘…the effect on the audience like a bolt of lightning’ exclaimed a member of Beethoven’s choir. Having pushed every boundary across music, Beethoven truly broke the mould in his final symphony. From hushed anticipation and violent eruptions, the struggle to reach serenity ends in music’s most recognisable theme and a call for brotherly unity; the ‘Ode to Joy’. A truly exhilarating musical celebration to complete LDSM’s 40th festival!
