The programme will feature Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, culminating in the celebrated Ode to Joy, set to a text by Friedrich Schiller and now a universal symbol of brotherhood, peace and unity among peoples.
A message of profound relevance today, which, sixty years after the Florence flood, evokes the spirit of solidarity, collective strength and resilience that enabled the city to overcome one of the most dramatic moments in its history.
