Beethoven 9. Sinfonie
Theater und Philharmonie Essen, Alfried Krupp Saal (Essen)
On May 7, the premiere of Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony will mark its 200th anniversary. The Orchestre des Champs-Élysées and the Collegium Vocale Gent choir under Philippe Herreweghe will perform the work. Herreweghe places the symphony in a pacifist context alongside Hanns Eisler's "Gegen den Krieg."
