Season Finale: Beethoven Symphony No. 9 Dress Rehearsal

Join us for a working dress rehearsal of the Season Finale program. The orchestra will work to polish each piece, with adjustments to nuance, balance, and blend. Many pieces will be played in their entirety, and certain sections will be retouched with starts and stops. General admission tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the door, by phone at 850.435.2533, or online at PensacolaSymphony.com.

The program includes a monumental performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. The orchestra will be joined by four vocal soloists, along with the Hattiesburg Choral Union and The Choral Society of Pensacola for the transcendent beauty and immense power of this beloved masterpiece. From its mysterious opening to the exhilarating and triumphant finale, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is a powerful journey through struggle, hope, and ultimate joy. The iconic “Ode to Joy” finale remains one of the most inspiring and recognizable moments in classical music, proclaiming a timeless message.

The rehearsal will also feature side-by-side performances of Franz Schubert’s Overture to Rosamunde and Mikhail Glinka’s Overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila by PSO musicians with student musicians from the Pensacola Symphony Youth Orchestra.
