Win tickets to Beethoven’s 9th symphony with the Fresno Philharmonic and Fresno Master Chorale

If you’ve never heard Beethoven’s Ninth live, trust me — you need to go big. And there’s nothing bigger than a professional orchestra and gynormous chorus putting raise-the-roof gusto into one of the most monumental pieces of music ever written. Joining conductor Rei Hotoda and her musicians on stage will be four professional soloists, along with the Fresno Master Chorale (prepared by artistic director Anna Hamre).  

I’m excited to give away tickets to this memorable event, which will take place 3 p.m. Sunday, June 11, at Saroyan Theatre.

    What a trill it would be to hear Beethoven’s Ninth at the Saroyan Theater! With the musical combination of orchestra, chorale, and soloists, I can just imagine the music filling the concert hall and our hearts. I would be a an experience to treasure.

    From the former theme for the NBC Nightly News (Huntley/Brinkley) to the Ode to Joy, there’s much good music in Ludwig’s 9th. Add my name to the list for your drawing this week.

    Hi, I would love to hear the 9th in person. I have an old record of Felix Frankfurter conducting that I always played for my music appreciation students, at least the passionate final thrilling movement when all voices became like strident instruments. thank you for the opportunity. Pat Isom
