Jennifer Higdon Blue Cathedral
Ludwig von Beethoven Symphony No. 9

As the breath-taking finale to our 80th anniversary, over 250 musicians unite on the Atwood stage to ignite Beethoven’s Ninth, a powerful tribute to hope, humanity, and the triumph of the human spirit.

Filled with vitality and optimism, Bright Blue wraps you in a vivid wave of rhythm and color that’s impossible not to enjoy.
Higdon’s Blue Cathedral is a beautifully reflective and moving piece that feels like a quiet, inspirational exploration through memory, loss, and hope.
Beethoven's powerful and uplifting symphony builds from dramatic intensity to a joyful, extraordinary finale that honors the triumph of the human spirit. Its message of unity and optimism is a reminder of music's power to bring people together.
