The Consuelo orchestra presents the final evening of the Beethoven cycle.

Schubert's First Symphony, composed at the age of 16, still bears the mark of Haydn. A sparkling work, it offers a foretaste of the celebrations in 2028 marking the bicentenary of the composer's death. But on 11 June, it serves as a prelude to the Holy Grail of symphonies.

Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is in a league of its own. Its finale is a hit, and its orchestration, its structure, the immense ingenuity of its narrative progression before the final apotheosis… all of it becomes the canon of perfection, the ultimate quest for Wagner, Bruckner, Mahler and the other symphonists who would follow. A work, soloists, an exceptional orchestra, joined by the pearl of the Parisian choral scene, the chœur philharmonique du COGE.
