In early 2023, filmmaker Larry Weinstein set out to make a documentary about Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and how far we have come in the two hundred years since it was written. But when world events pull Larry into his own film, the question becomes a deeply personal one. Beethoven’s Nine follows nine unique individuals as they try to better understand the legacy of Beethoven’s Ninth, the composer’s own struggles, and the inspiration music can provide, even in the darkest times.
