The Greenville Symphony Orchestra, led by Music Director and Conductor Edvard Tchivzhel, presents this addition to our “digital concert hall." Please enjoy the GSO virtual orchestra presentation of the Finale of Symphony No. 9 in D minor by Ludwig van Beethoven.
This musical excerpt is more popularly known as the "Ode to Joy." That joy, connecting all of us in Greenville through music, is so powerful we knew we could not allow the 2019-2020 Concert Season to end in silence. “Oh friends, not these tones. Let us strike up more pleasing and joyful ones.”
-L.van Beethoven
The musicians of the Greenville Symphony Orchestra turned their homes - bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms - into makeshift recording and film studios. In fact, they used their cell phones to capture their performances. The performance you’re hearing are those recordings.
Robert Gowan (Other Southern productions: www.othersouthern.com) turned 73 audio and video recordings into this performance by the GSO.
Music, at its core, is a language that connects us across boundaries of time, space and circumstances. For the Greenville Symphony, we have always celebrated the relationship between the incredible work of our musicians and the audiences who are moved while listening, the students who grow while learning, and the communities that become connected while experiencing it together.
The GSO will return. The music will return.
And when it does, your seat will be waiting.
