- “If” for tenor and orchestra
The work is inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s poem, a fatherly advice to his son emphasizing human dignity and wisdom but more essentially what it undertakes to be a man.
Beethoven: Symphony No. 9
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is widely considered to be one of the composer’s greatest works, although he was so deaf at the time of its completion, Beethoven couldn’t hear the audience’s enthusiastic applause at its premiere.
With its rousing choral finale which uses Friedrich von Schiller’s “Ode to Joy”, Beethoven’s Ninth has also stood as an important cultural symbol. The melody that Beethoven set to Schiller’s text is the anthem of the European Union.
Performers:
Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, musicians from the European Union Youth Orchestra
Kor Mirabitur, the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir
soloists
Conductor Brian Schembri
Europe Day Concert features musicians from Malta and Estonia to celebrate Estonia's EU Presidency in the second part of 2017, after Malta.
The concert organised in collaboration with Maltese Presidency of the Council of the EU 2017 and International Spring Orchestra Festival 2017
