It was also Beethoven’s last complete symphony, composed when he was almost completely deaf, and is one of the most performed symphonies in the world. The 4th movement features the exultant “Ode to Joy” theme, along with a chorus and celebrated soloists Risa Renae Harman (Soprano), Elise DesChamps (Mezzo-Soprano), John Bragle (Tenor) and William Bakhout (Baritone). Hear this masterpiece Saturday, June 4th at 7 p.m. at the John M. Hall Auditorium in Bay View. For tickets ($35 to $65) and more information, visit www.glcorchestra.org.
