Beethoven's monumental Ninth Symphony takes center stage in a program shaped by resilience, heroism, and joy. This transcendent work celebrates the human spirit's triumph over struggle, culminating in one of classical music's most surprising and uplifting moments -- the "Ode to Joy," where chorus and orchestra unite in a breathtaking musical expression of hope.

The program opens with the Overture to The Creatures of Prometheus, portraying the mythic hero who brings enlightenment to humanity, alongside Aurora, inspired by the perilous journey refugees undertake across the Mediterranean in search of safety and a better future.
