Guest conductor Christian Macelaru will join the Naples Philharmonic and the Naples Philharmonic Chorus at Artis—Naples on April 10-12 for Beethoven’s seminal work, Symphony No. 9.

Paired with the Naples Phil and the 100-voice strong Naples Philharmonic Chorus, this program looks to welcome spring with Beethoven’s final symphony, the orchestration of Friedwich Schiller’s poem “Ode to Joy.”
