Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 “Ode to Joy”
Vaughan William: Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis
Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia creates a heavenly atmosphere with translucent strings, preparing the audience for the transcendent experience of Beethoven’s final symphony; his Ode to Joy fills the concert hall with uplifting voices, unifying and inspiring. United States Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith’s new English text brings relevance for today. Soloists appear in collaboration with the Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts (CAAPA).
