103 - Creating a Visible “Ode to Joy”: A Gift to Beethoven

2024 marked the 200th anniversary of the premiere of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony in Vienna. In February of that year, the children of the White Hands Chorus NIPPON brought a new version of the “Ode to Joy” to Vienna. Performed with a combination of voice and dramatic sign language, this new form of musical expression garnered world attention. The program chronicles six months of the children’s challenging preparations for the performance.
The English version is produced by and now housed in JAMCO.
