BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 9 Mariana Ortiz, soprano J'nai Bridges,
mezzo-soprano Joshua Guerrero, tenor Soloman Howard, bass Star
conductor Gustavo Dudamel conducts the dynamic Simón Bolívar
Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela in this second program of its
all-Beethoven Cal Performances residency, presenting the composer's
last and largest symphony, the Ninth, in the spectacular panorama of
the Greek Theatre. The colossal work, with its majestic "Ode to Joy,"
is a call for universal brotherhood, and who better to deliver this
message than Dudamel, whose musical leadership resounds across the
globe, and whose performances of the Ninth have been described as
"rapturous," reaching "record levels of exhilaration" (Los Angeles
Times).
