Beethoven
Jan
18
3:00 PM15:00

Beethoven

Mineola Choral Society 
The Mineola Choral Society salutes Beethoven when the chorus performs an all-Beethoven program at its annual winter concert. The stirring program features the beautiful and engaging Mass in C Major and the final movement of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125, which includes the setting of Friedrich Schiller’s poem An Die Freude (Ode to Joy). The “Ode to Joy” is the culmination of the Ninth Symphony and is the last symphonic music that Beethoven completed. The poem, which combines a quest for religious meaning with the democratic ideals of an era, is profoundly expressed in Beethoven’s dramatic and joyous music.

Soloists:
Adrienne Patino-Dunn, Soprano
Abigail Wright, Mezzo Soprano
Gennard Lombardozzi, Tenor
Steven Fredericks, Bass
