In the final month of his tenure as Chicago Symphony Orchestra's music director, Riccardo Muti conducts CSO through Ludwig Van Beethoven's emotional Missa Solemnis in D Major Op. 123. One of the most thought-provoking mass settings which challenges its listeners, it is an intense contemplation of both belief and uncertainty, encompassing moments of euphoria and distress, sublime elegance and drama.
With an exhilarating quartet of singers from around the world in Erin Morley, Alisa Kolosova, Giovanni Sala and Kyle Letelson, alongside the participation of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, don't miss this exquisite performance of one of the rarer pieces of Beethoven.
