Ode à la Joie: Raphaël Pichon, Ensemble Pygmalion & Chœur de Pygmalion at Philharmonie de Paris
A nostalgic choral night.
Conductor Raphaël Pichon presents a program centered around Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, celebrating both the 200th anniversary of the composer's death and the 70th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome. The performance creates a dialogue between the universal message of the 'Ode to Joy' and 20th-century spiritual works, including Schoenberg's Friede auf Erden and Charles Ives' The Unanswered Question, alongside funeral-themed pieces by Honegger and Stravinsky that reflect on the historical motivations for European unity.
