Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra Opens 25th Anniversary Season with Two Performances of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9
The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra kicks off its 25th Anniversary Season, marking a pivotal moment in the organization’s history with the 25th Anniversary Season Opening Weekend: Beethoven’s Ninth on Saturday, September 30, 2017 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, October 1 at 2 p.m. at Bob Carr Theater, located at 401 W. Livingston St.
Music Director Eric Jacobsen (pictured above) leads the Philharmonic in this program, which includes Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor “Chorale.” One of Beethoven’s best-known works in all classical music, the piece is known for its idea of the “brotherhood of man” and is the great composer’s final complete symphony.
The Philharmonic is excited to feature the following guest artists on this concert; Sherezade Panthaki (pictured above), soprano; Kate Maroney, mezzo soprano; Dann Coakwell, tenor; Dashon Burton, baritone; and the University of Central Florida Chorus.
“To start the season with a world premiere by Orlando composer Keith Lay and featuring brass players from the orchestra, some who have been in the orchestra for 25 years, there is no better way to open the 25th season and celebrate Orlando,” said Jacobsen.
The Classics Series is sponsored by FAIRWINDS Credit Union and the Accommodations Sponsor is DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando Downtown.
