Program and Description

WALTER BRAUNFELS: Te Deum
BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 9

PROGRAM NOTES

The 2017 Festival opens with a May Festival premiere: the first movement of Walter Braunfels’ Te Deum, music that powerfully articulates the German composer’s spiritual journey upon his return from the front line in the First World War. Beethoven’s remarkable “Ode to Joy” Symphony is among the best-loved symphonies of all time and an anthem to the dreams of all humankind to join together as one.

Enjoy a special pre-concert performance in the lobby by the Classical Roots Choir under the direction of William Caldwell. 

Visit the featured lobby bar to try our enchanted cocktails, Eveningbriar and Choral Bouquet, designed by Watershed Distillery.
