“This season, we transcend the boundaries of time and hear Beethoven anew: as a force field, as a feeling, as a universal language. In the Philharmonic Concerts, Omer Meir Wellber combines a selection of the 37 movements from Beethoven’s nine famous symphonies to create new sonic spaces – free from chronology, full of life, moods, and inner connections, ideas, and inspirations. A journey between eternity and the present moment.”
