THE Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra brings the classical season at Middlesbrough Town Hall to an end on Tuesday (May 12) performing one of the greatest symphonies ever written.
Beethoven composed the Symphony No. 9, also known as the Choral Symphony, towards the end of his life when he was completely deaf. It has become a hymn to freedom the world over.
The world class orchestra, conducted by charismatic Jacek Kaspszyk, will be joined by Leeds Festival Chorus and Leeds Philharmonic Chorus, with opera soloists Wioletta Chodowicz (soprano), Hannah Pedley (mezzo), Andrew Rees (tenor) and Paul Carey Jones (baritone).
It will be the first time the symphony has been performed at the town hall. The other work on the programme is Schubert's Symphony No. 3.
The concert starts at 7.45pm. Tickets cost £12.50, students £8, from the box office on 01642 729729 or middlesbroughtownhallonline.co.uk.
