Beethoven's Ninth: New Year's Concert at Auditorium di Milano Fondazione Cariplo

About the Event

Prepare to be mesmerized by a truly remarkable performance of Beethoven's masterpiece at the exquisite Auditorium Fondazione Cariplo in Milan. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of classical music like never before.

The concert will begin with a reading of Ludwig van Beethoven's testament, written on October 6, 1802, in Heiligenstadt when he was on the verge of despair due to irreversible deafness. Massimiliano Finazzer Flory will bring these powerful words to life, providing insight into Beethoven's struggles and his heartfelt message to his brothers Karl and Johann.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, a timeless masterpiece, continues to move us even after almost 200 years since its first performance at the Carinthian Gate Theater. For many composers of the nineteenth century, this work symbolized the legacy of the Master of Bonn and represented an unattainable pinnacle of grandeur. Its profound message of strength and brotherhood remains as powerful and relevant today.
