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.
The contest is open to members, donors and individual sponsors of The Munro Review. Tax-deductible memberships start at $5 a month, and you can make a one-time donation of as little as $3. (Paid memberships help keep the site running, and paid members get special members-only benefits. Please consider a paid membership in support of independent, local arts journalism.) A free membership option is available. For details on how to join, go to the Membership and Sponsorship page. No purchase, donation or membership is necessary to enter the ticket giveaway.

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
