The BPO joins the international observance of the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s powerful masterwork that includes the “Ode to Joy.” Its message of unity and love continues to hearten millions around the world. Equally inspiring is the exhilarating performance of Nikki Chooi on Sibelius’ Violin Concerto.

Nikki Chooi’s performance is sponsored by Mark Chason and Mariana Botero Chason.
This concert is dedicated to the memory of Clement Arrison.

This concert is presented by Phillips Lytle
