Celebrating Philippe Herreweghe’s 80th birthday, the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra and Collegium Vocale Gent reunite for a monumental tribute. Following the tradition of Beethoven’s legendary “Akademie” concerts, this programme showcases the composer’s immense range. Experience his evolution from the elegant Symphony No. 1 to the contemplative Mass in C, culminating in the jubilant Choral Fantasy. Led by Herreweghe, a master of clarity and depth, this celebration brings together three iconic musical forces to present Beethoven in all his glory. A definitive highlight of this season’s “Masterworks” series.
