Nearly 100 Voices and Instruments, Making a "Joyful Noise"!

The McLean Symphony and the McLean Symphony Festival Singers Prepare Beethoven's 9th Symphony Choral Finale, Including "Ode to Joy"!

In rehearsal tonight, nearly 100 voices and instruments joined in creating Beethoven's masterwork, the 9th Symphony Choral Finale. I counted 53 instrumentalists, 38 voices (including Choral Director Felicia Kessel-Crawley), three of the four guest soloists, and one Maestro Fleary. And doggone it, this piece is actually coming together!

And you will, come Saturday evening. The guest vocalists are amazing. I did an interview with William Powell, the bass baritone. Read it tomorrow morning.
