Visionary conductor Marin Alsop leads a concert that includes Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony performed by a 250-voice choir and an orchestra comprising the finest players of tomorrow. New Yorkers of all ages come together to perform a new translation of Schiller’s “Ode to Joy” by United States Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith, as well as original music that reinterprets the themes of joy, unity, and equality found in the poem. This concert marks the culmination of All Together: A Global Ode to Joy, a yearlong project connecting new presentations of the Ninth Symphony across six continents.
