*A joyful call to unity.*
A collaboration with Cantate Concert Choir, Our season finale lifts us toward joy and shared humanity. In Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No. 9, we find hope, friendship, and a radiant “Ode to Joy.” The program opens with beautiful choral works by Mendelssohn, Fauré, and Ingrid Stölzel that remind us of music’s power to bless, uplift, and bring us together.
