Rejoice!

The spoiled and elitist majority of European critics, who somehow seem to consider themselves the last crusaders and defenders of European musical tradition, are not easy to please. Especially when Beethoven's name is printed on the program. Therefore the superlatives, such as "the finest concert of the summer", "thrilling playing" and "revelatory" bestowed upon Australian Chamber Orchestra's recent Beethoven's symphony series on its world-tour, are a clear and notable sign that “Tognetti's spunky conquerers“ have been victorious. Again. Only this time it is Beethoven - Europe's mightiest fortress!

So, what better way to celebrate their enthusiasm and passion for music than with the Ode to Joy?

What better way to wrap up a festival which brings two weeks of sheer musical delights, an impressive list of the world’s most acclaimed soloists and the “best chamber orchestra on the planet” as the Festival's orchestra in residence?

Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Maribor Festival Orchestra and Choir and extraordinary soloists united under the leadership of Richard Tognetti as the grand Festival Finale.

More about the Festival events from beginning to end in the upcoming Festival Maribor bulletins.
