After a number of years' absence due to the pandemic, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande is delighted to be welcomed back to the Rosey Concert Hall's season together with the Zürcher Sing-Akademie and an exciting line up of solists.

Chosen in 1972 as the official hymn of the European Union, the melody « Ode to Joy » celebrates peace between nations and the human race. An impressive programme that embodies the entire volume of Beethoven’s work.

The Ninth Symphony adds to the history of the symphony thanks to it’s unusual length and the incorporation of a choir and four vocal soloists to sing Schiller’s poem. Beethoven innovates once again by creating a new musical form and at the same time issuing a tremendous call for hope for the world.
