Gibb music director Stilian Kirov conducts Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra’s season finale on May 18 at Trinity Christian College’s Ozinga Chapel in Palos Heights. Joyful Voices: Shaw & Beethoven includes a 200th anniversary performance of Symphony No. 9.
“Beethoven 9 is one of the greatest works ever written. It is really a work that inspired so many future composers in many different ways. It’s really a groundbreaking piece,” said Stilian Kirov, Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra’s Gibb music director. Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra’s performance of Symphony No. 9 features soprano Kimberly E. Jones, mezzo-soprano Leah Dexter, tenor Ryan Townsend Strand, baritone Bill McMurray and Chicago Community Chorus during the final movement known as “Ode to Joy.”
“It’s a piece that has a very important message that is important in the world today as well. The music is absolutely stunning.”
