A to Z Joy: Ode to Joy

Please enjoy the Colorado Symphony's recent virtual performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Ode to Joy:




"Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is an ode to humanity, to peace over desperation, to universal kinship and, of course, to joy. We hope that this small tribute stands as a reminder that community is powerful, and together, despite the anxiety and separation, we will come back stronger than before."

I'm not crying, you're crying.

  1. Thanks, Jenny! This is so beautiful, and that parrot on the cellist's arm added a touch of whimsy to the performance.

    1. And I think the social distancing version is even more poignant!
