Ludovic Morlot dirigint el concert de l'OBC a Girona

This season at L’Auditori opens with a performance one of the greatest musical milestones ever reached by a composer: Beethoven’s Symphony No 9 stands out for its originality, and it could even be classed as ground-breaking in its original context. The Orfeó Català will sing in the closing movement, guided by the divine spark that is Schiller’s “Ode to Joy."

Ludovic Morlot, chief conductor of the OBC, will head a quartet of soloists formed by Joyce El-Khoury, soprano; Silvia Tro Santafé, mezzo-soprano; Elgan Llyr Thomas, tenor, and Davone Tines, bass, as they also perform the first opera by a Catalan composer to be programed in Catalunya.
