The Muzika! Festival Orchestra will join Ilya Kaler under the baton of Maestro Gregory Buchalter from the Metropolitan Opera for this amazing work that is considered to be a musical pillar of the late 19th century. Maestro Buchalter & the Muzika! Festival Orchestra will finish the program with Brahms’ First Symphony, the work that is sometimes called “Beethoven’s Tenth” due to its similarities to the “Ode to Joy” in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
