If you like the Des Moines Symphony facebook page, you may have noticed a post that is offering some guesses as to how many times the orchestra has performed Beethoven’s ninth symphony, which we are playing in April. Don’t forget to like the page and make a guess, as this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Don’t forget to purchase online access for the concert set, which will take place on April 9th at 7:30 PM. https://my.desmoinesperformingarts.org/0/6042?queueittoken=e_newdmpasafetynet~q_5f582942-0536-4181-93e2-50b79c00d8e9~ts_1648581481~ce_true~rt_safetynet~h_b8f25d1330155bff21fdc2802f58026674b3bf320245bbf22a1cf8b2fe3312e1.
We are also playing an opera overture by Beethoven, the Ukraine national anthem, a selection from Tristan and Isolde by Wagner, and a piece by Estonian composer Arvo Part. The Iowa State Singers, Des Moines Choral Society, and soloists are joining us for Beethoven Nine.
