Singing Beethoven
The formula is not new: it is about joining amateur choirs together with professional ensembles to interpret the great works of the repertoire, in this case nothing less than Beethoven’s Ninth, whose political symbolism is well known, as the anthem of the European Union originated there. Granada-born Miguel Ángel Gómez-Martínez will be in charge of the Orquesta y Coro Ciudad de Granada, four soloists with an extraordinary career and another eight choirs (about 200 voices, in total) for a double interpretation of one of the most popular and emblematic works of Western arts.
