Go shorty, it’s your birthday!
It’s Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday, and we’re reveling with his greatest hit, the Ninth Symphony! His “Ode to Joy” theme has inspired many artists since its debut including composer Diane Wittry. The celebration gets started with her festive Ode to Joy Fanfare, and the party don’t stop with Beethoven’s epic Choral Fantasy — Symphony No. 9 closes our season finale birthday bash!
