Macon-Mercer Symphony Orchestra #3
MAKE MORE MUSIC MONDAYS
Symphony, redesigned with you in mind. One of the first hybrid orchestras of its kind, the Macon-Mercer Symphony Orchestra blends rising stars from the McDuffie Center for Strings with professional musicians and mentors from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to make classical music more accessible. Hear timeless favorites and bold new works at the historic Piedmont Grand Opera House. Major funding for the MMSO is provided by the Peyton Anderson Foundation.
Monday, Mar. 1 at 7:30 p.m.
Mei Ann Chen, guest conductor
Beethoven Symphony No. 9
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is in a category of its own. Conductor Mei-Ann Chen leads the MMSO, Mercer Singers, and Townsend School of Music faculty and alumni in a work that begins in mystery and shadow and builds, over the course of an hour, to the “Ode to Joy,” a melody so embedded in the collective memory that the moment the chorus enters, the entire room recognizes it at once. That shared recognition, felt together in a live concert hall, is something recordings simply cannot replicate.
