Issachah returns to his hometown to join the Philadelphia Orchestra for performances of Beethoven Symphony No. 9. Beloved by audiences for centuries, Beethoven’s mighty Ninth Symphony brings more power and more transcendent beauty than it seems possible for the heart to hold, leaving the listener exalted and uplifted. Yannick conducts soaring performances that feature some of today’s most powerful voices. The Symphony’s indelible choral component, based on German poet Friedrich Schiller’s “Ode to Joy”, offers an intricately woven tapestry of sound and a supremely powerful finale—a call for freedom, equality, and unity. Conducted by Maestro, Yannick Nézet-Séguin
