BEETHOVEN  Ah! perfido, Op. 65
CONTRERAS  Premiere
A co-commission led by the Las Vegas Philharmonic through New Music USA’s Amplifying Voices, supported by the Sphinx Venture Fund
BEETHOVEN  Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op.125

We conclude our 23rd season with a world premiere and grand symphonic finale!  The Las Vegas Philharmonic celebrates the “edge effect” in Juan Pablo Contreras’ new orchestral work, shining a light on the Mexican-American communities that have flourished on the border, and in cities like Las Vegas.  For our last note, the orchestra performs Beethoven’s concert aria for soprano, Ah! perfido and his 9th and final symphony, inspired by Friedrich Schiller’s poem, Ode To Joy, with four dynamic vocalists and a jubilant chorus.
