Sir Andrew Davis Conducts Beethoven 9 at Lyric Opera

Lyric will celebrate Sir Andrew Davis's magnificent two-decade tenure as music director with one of his favorite works, never previously performed at Lyric: Beethoven's enthralling, life-enhancing Symphony No. 9, the "Choral," music's most exalted hymn to the human spirit. Sir Andrew will conduct a superb vocal quartet with the wonderful Lyric Opera Orchestra and Chorus. The concert will begin with a new choral work by Sir Andrew's son, Ed Frazier Davis, an impressively gifted composer.
