MTT conducts Beethoven’s
Missa solemnis
Christine Brewer, soprano
If you think Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony ends with a bang, wait until you hear his
Missa solemnis. Composed simultaneously with the iconic Ninth, perhaps best revered for its “Ode to Joy” theme, the
Missa is one big bang, amply demonstrating Beethoven’s ability to craft musical praises like no one else. Bringing that praise to life is a quartet of soloists including the marvelous Christine Brewer, recently named one of the 20 Greatest Sopranos of All Time by
BBC Music Magazine.
Inside Music, an informative talk with Alexandra Amati-Camperi, begins one hour prior to concerts.
2 Tickets to SF Symphony. Premier Orchestra Section, plus pre-concert talk.
